Author bio

A free spirit, gypsy. I love wine and cheese; I love appreciating the little things in life. I love day trips. I have a wealth of knowledge about life and love. I am passionate about my beliefs. I will always have your back. Every chapter in life is a lesson learned, start to appreciate each one. Mother to 2 grown beautiful women. Nan to 5 wonderful grandchildren xo Writing has been my passion for a few years now. Just me, in my comfy little space. I love to dig deep into my mind sometimes sober, but even more interestingly, sometimes intoxicated :/ I love to express what's going on in my head. Escaping to where my imagination carries me. This is a new chapter in my life that I've been wanting to explore for a while, and now I'm ready to step up and take a chance. Looking forward to learning and taking a front seat on my new journey xo
