Ever since I was little, I’ve loved making hand-made cards and presents and arts & crafts for people.

Poetry makes people nervous. Especially in schools.

Not all poetry wants to be storytelling. And not all storytelling wants to be poetry. But great storytellers and great poets share something in common: They had something to say, and did.

It's really hard for me to remember all of the places that I've been but I can remember all of the delicious meals that I've ever eaten. I love traveling by way or stomach...and finding quiet time.

There are parts of me I only recognize from photographs.

Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.

I think there is a human instinct to tell stories, no matter who you are or where you live.
