Watercolors and book covers created alongside the writing, Images woven the same stillness, and devotion as the words themselves
The Quiet Library
A growing collection of writings, excerpts, and early pages — shared slowly with care. A place to sit with words, not rush through them. Imagine a cozy fire, a well-loved book, and nowhere else you need to be. The stories here are simply waiting.
A Life Lived in Words and Service
Parts of this work were formed through years of living close to the land, including years spent off the grid, and a lifelong practice of tending soil, planting trees, and caring for the place I call home.
 I was also shaped by being raised alongside true land stewardship — my mother having lived more than four decades fully off the grid — a lived example of resilience, simplicity, and care.
 It has been shaped most deeply by love — through a thirty-four-year marriage, twelve years of walking alongside cancer, years of serving unhoused neighbors and their animals, and the ongoing reality of grief.
 A devotion to animals and their well-being runs through all of this; I live a vegan life as an expression of that care.
 What remains - writing, tending, remembering, and service continues to inform how I live and what is shared here.

Living with Grief
After decades of love, caregiving, loss, and lived experience, this work now centers on grief, not as something to resolve, but as something to live with.
These offerings are shared through writing and self-paced courses created from my own life and story.
This work is meant to be met privately, on your own time, and in your own way.Â
An Invitation
If something here has met you quietly, you’re welcome to enter the Library. Inside are writings, books, and self-paced offerings — shared without urgency, and meant to be met in your own time.
