originally from the west coast, I moved to Maryland in 2017 for a great job opportunity that turned out to be a bust. fast forward to now and Husband (yes, I address him that way) and I have just bought our forever house. well at least until the kiddos graduate high school. we spend our days running around after a toddler affectionally nicknamed Hurricane, playing chauffer for the 12- year old’s softball, drama, and dance practices, and worrying about the 17-year old who drives himself to his own activities.

by day, I’m a nurse practitioner who specializes in concussion care. my alternate ego is a soap and candle maker and wannabe writer. I wrote a rom-com during the Covid lockdown and have struggled to get more than about 30% through the sequel. I’m dying to get back to writing, but medicine pays the bills.

I have a good grasp on WHAT to do to be in peak physical and mental health, but I struggle to follow through. I’ve built this site to keep myself accountable and hopefully help others work on their consistency, too.
