I’m a Writer

I’ve worn a lot of titles in my life: Professional ones like analyst, negotiator, supervisor. Personal ones like daughter, sister, cousin, and my favorite of all: Mom. Until recently, I never really considered myself a “writer”, at least not in the career or professional sense of the word…  Even though writing is what I do.  It’s what I’ve always done.  It’s what I’ve always loved doing.

Dandelion Creed



Be like a dandelion,
Stand tall, stay bright.
You’ll bend in the storm but reach for the light.
They’ll call you a weed, try to pluck you away,

Most won’t see your roots run deep,
They’ll judge your bloom when you’re fighting to keep,
A piece of the sky, a patch of the sun,
But you’ve always been many things wrapped in one.
You’re softness and steel, wild and wise,
A stubborn bloom they still criticize.
But beauty was never about fitting in.
You were born to rise again… and again.
