MY BOOKS
Four books, written across years and continents. A memoir from Ecuador. A poetry collection from Portugal. A book of essays on the wisdom hidden in ordinary life. A daily companion for the overwhelmed and the seeking. Each one began in a journal. Each one arrived when it was ready.
Every book I have written began as something I needed to understand for myself. The memoir was a reckoning with love and surrender. The poems were a way of surviving grief. The essays were an attempt to notice what I kept missing. The daily guide was a reminder I wrote for my own overwhelmed mornings before I realized other people needed it too.
I no longer write to teach. I write to pay attention. If something in these pages meets you where you are, that is the whole point.

Everyday Epiphanies

Between Root and Sky
A Collection of Poems on Love, Loss and Longing

Manage Your Life Before Life Manages You
"For someone as busy as I am, this book allows me to take small steps daily that become big results. I read it each day.” Reader Review
One page a day. One small invitation to pause, recalibrate, and remember what matters before the momentum of the day carries you past it.
