Illumination Author Bio

Here I am, this is me

Who am I?

I am a girl that keeps getting older every year, but not quite all the way old. I have been married to my husband for seventeen years. We have eight beautiful children. I homeschool, but that is what I do, and not who I am.

I am a kind human who breaks for the broken. I am conservative in my lifestyle, but try to utilize my two ears more than my mouth.

I am an idealist who struggles with the thought of people intentionally causing harm.

My ADHD gives me a superpower where I become 80% proficient at 1,000 different things.

I am a free spirit, but I am strict with my children because I want the best for them.

I love to travel, go on adventures, and be in nature. Let’s be friends!

What do I write?

I write about what inspires me. I write about life experiences as a mother and wife and a human. I write about history, culture, and travel. I have a million more ideas in my head to write about, and I try to write daily for habit.

I am currently a writer in the publications: Illumination, The Ascent, Invivisblle Illness, The Writers Cooperative, Home Sweet Home, The Smarter Home, and Wide Open Space.

My work has been curated in: parenting, relationships, family, mental health, history, equality, race, and music.

Why do I write?

I write because I have so much passion living in my heart and want to share it with those around me. I genuinely want to connect with others through words.

I am a student historian (studying for my Ph.D.) and genuinely feel that if we don’t know history, we will unwittingly repeat it. I write to share, but also to process.

I write about everything I am, everything I do, and everything that I think will make your existence on this planet better.

Thank you Dr Mehmet Yildiz for adding me as a writer to your publication. I have found it to be a place of encouragement and support. I look forward to publishing more with this excellent platform of people.
