Featured Articles & Other News
Hello, lovely humans!
Thank you for all you do! I've got some featured articles here for your reading pleasure. You can also check out my fiction work by reading Left on Main, a contemporary romance. It's the first in the Heart of Madison series, and its sequel will be out in Spring of 2020.
Under the Glittering Expanse of Stars: The End is Inevitable
"It’s not safe here.
The end is, by now, inevitable because from the time it’s taken to move from uncertainty to a sure knowledge, too much of the ice has broken, a million tiny cracks stretching into the distance."
A Solitary Witch Brews Self-Love
"I give my heart free reign to roam
Until it lands and finds a home,
But it can take flight once again
If home’s a place it can’t get in"
A Roadmap to the Relationship You Don't Think Exists
"We can tell ourselves that epic love, soulmate love, doesn’t exist. That what we want isn’t realistic. We can keep saying it, but we don't believe it. Something inside us keeps reaching for it."
The Only Diet You'll Ever Need to Get the Results You Crave
"Too often we make fitness about a look rather than a life."
My Words are Whiskey
"You tell me my words are whiskey, burning at the corners of your eyes and searing your throat on the way down, heat rising. I ask what you expected of a woman Tennessee-raised with whiskey-fire in her blood."

What if the life she leaves leads her to the love she needs?
Love
is the name you give
the things that hurt you
The broken promises that cut
Your feet as you walked away
The lies you swallowed,
Bitter even in their honeyed sweetness
The betrayal of bodies heated
Moving together, grinding your heart to dust
The one whose leaving opened up
A river inside you and drowned all your hope
Love
is the name you give
the things that hurt you
The things that hurt you--
that’s not love
Love didn't hold your head
beneath the surface
with a firm hand tangled in your hair
Love didn't wait until the hope
had floated up like bubbles
dancing toward the night sky
Love didn't walk away
leaving you feeling like
less than you ever felt
before
Love didn't hurt you
didn't drown you
didn't make you less
They did.
