About Me

I grew up in a big family, first on the South Shore of Long Island and later in Southeast Florida. Our home was a lively mix of love, laughter, strong opinions, and clashing personalities. Being one of nine children was joyful, loud, and at times painful in its chaos. It has taken years of reflection and personal work to understand the fullness of who I am and where I come from, and I remain deeply grateful for the family that shaped me.

I have always loved a good story. I was a dreamer, and stories offered a way to step beyond the limits of my immediate world into something larger and more possible. Again and again, stories carried me to places that felt alive and meaningful. Over time, a quiet question emerged. What might happen if I allowed my own story to do the same? Who knows our longings, our questions, and our dreams better than we do ourselves?

This site is one woman’s ongoing journey of remembering and becoming through story. It is a place where I listen to my own life with honesty and care, allowing truth and emotion to find their way into words. Along the way, I discovered that I not only love reading stories, I love writing them. Writing has become a way of looking gently at myself and my lineage, of making sense of where I come from so I can live more fully and presently now.

Sharing these reflections here is an invitation to walk alongside me as I explore what this life is teaching. I understand storytelling not as performance or explanation, but as a form of presence. When a story is held with care and honesty, it has the capacity to restore balance, deepen intimacy, and remind us of who we are.

This is storytelling, held in presence, as medicine.
