Christmas Gift Baskets with Love and History
They are more than giftsโtheyโre pieces of my story. Meyer lemons from my tree, Plantlife Herbal Lip Balm, & soaps I created in my kitchen in the 90s. I no longer own the company but today, theyโre in 64 countries. Their journey started here, with me.

2 years into writing my memoir, I attended an adoptee retreat in Berkeley, CA, in 2018. Out of that powerful experience, I formed a deep bond with Erica. This is a picture of us together during my visit to her beautiful home on Lake Michigan. โค๏ธ Grateful #adoptee #amwriting #writerslife

๐ I wrote a memoir about seeing the world through a child's eyes, where adults fail us, choices are stolen, and voices are silenced. Itโs about a brave woman who fought for what mattered most โ family. *Practically Still a Virgin

We're here to open our hearts, to know love, and to be a light for others. It's not just about meโit's about us. Every challenge, every experience, every layer peeled away through writing has brought me closer to this truth: to help others and make the world a better place. ๐
