You’ve read my bio page but are still curious about the author behind the books? This is where you get to know me better on a personal level.
This feels like it’s become a thing of mine–announcing I’m coming back, coming back for a couple weeks, and then leaving again. It’s not that I don’t want to keep all of you updated. It’s that, like for all of us, 2020 has been one hell of a year. On top of that, having an… Read More 2020 is almost behind us
My spoons, are GONE. Meaning it’s time to take a few steps back and go at my own pace. So I’m planning some extra self-care in this month. There’s several things I’m thinking of.
