"As a writer, teacher, and coach, I wear multiple ‘hats’ but they are all intertwined.
I love to research other times and places, ones that, for some mysterious reason, I feel a connection to. When I write, I can weave my emotions, personal history, ways of experiencing the world, and the ideas I’ve encountered and absorbed into a story or essay that holds truth. I write to make order out of chaos, open my inner world, and enter a sacred space where I am not alone but in communion with a compelling and benevolent force. As author and theologian Matthew Fox says, “Creativity happens at the border between chaos and order.” Creativity is a mystical experience, a union, a place where the divine and the human imagination can meet."
