Who am I

Who Am I?

Let's be honest: at some point in life, we all wonder this question about ourselves, right?

It's a powerful question-one that forces us to stop and truly think about every part of what has shaped the entirety of who we are.

Am I the "way too sensitive," scared child I started as?

No.

That frightened child faced many difficulties, often alone, which transformed her into the strong, capable, compassionate woman I am today. Someone who stands up for those who can no longer protect themselves.

Just the wife?

No again.

My first marriage ended in a brutal, two-year divorce, which set me on a path of self-healing. That journey made me stronger, wiser, and even more empathetic.

The mother?

Yes and no.

Being a mother has been an integral part of who I am for a very long time. But it is not all that I am.

The dreamer?

Well, that part of me helps me express my creativity through my books and share them with the world.

Writing is one of my deepest passions, yet at this stage of life, I rarely have the time to write as much as I would like.

The martial artist?

That has given me the tools to build my strength, protect others, and stay active and healthy.

The listener?

That allows me to connect deeply with others, cultivating lasting impacts in their lives and allowing them to make an impact on mine.

But no, that doesn't define me either.

The caregiver?

That is simply the core of my personality.

The student?

After all, I do have a deep thirst for knowledge that never seems to be fully quenched.

I am all of these things-and still so much more.
