About

I am 36 years old, a mother of six, a survivor, a fighter — and a living example of what grace and grit can build from brokenness.

I have been clean from IV drug use for over five years, and every single day I wake up grateful for the life I fought to rebuild. I work full-time as a direct support professional in behavioral health, walking alongside people on the autism spectrum and those with other developmental delays. Helping others heal has helped heal me too.

I love Jesus with my whole heart — and I know I would not be standing here today without His grace. Even in all the heartbreak, trauma, and chaos, blessings keep blooming. I see them in my children’s laughter, in the small victories we celebrate, in the breath in my lungs each morning.

I’m passionate about photography, poetry, and sparking intelligent, soulful conversations. I love music — it’s my soul’s language — and if you listen to the songs playing around me, you’ll hear my heart’s mood without a word spoken.

Some of my favorite moments are simple: lighting my favorite candles, cleaning my home until it feels safe again, sitting in the peace and meaningful connections that healing has brought into my house. Nature, creativity, and connection are my lifelines.

This blog, Letters From an Edge, is where I share the raw, unfiltered journey of rebuilding after wreckage — with hope, faith, fire, and grace.

I believe even in the ashes, life can rise.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.
