My Story:
As a child I never planned on writing about consciousness, awakening, time, quantum (meta)physics... I always thought I'd be a fiction writer. I love sci-fi and fantasy, and I have quite the imagination. While I've always wanted to be a writer and published author, I've also been self-conscious and critical of my work... not wanting anybody else to see or read it out of fear. As I get past my own fears, I find myself sharing more and more while figuring out who I am and who I want to be. I plan on writing many more books, and doing many more projects in the near future. Since starting my studies at UMS I've discovered that I have an interest in the concept of time and the illusion of that time. So while I want to write fiction, I also plan to explore many more metaphysical concepts and quantum physics. Anyway you slice it, all it if will be an aspect of me expressing itself as it is meant to. Thank you for joining me on my journey!
As for my Self-Love Journey:
It's been a wild roller coaster of self-love and self-loathing over the years. Some days I can look in the mirror and see an amazing woman with so much love and confidence radiating from her very core... and some days I just can't do or be anything "right." As I discover who I am and who I want to be, I wish to share what I learn with you. I know loving yourself can be difficult at times, and it may even appear to be downright improbable, but the possibility is always there.
I also love art in all its forms. I love writing and doodling. I believe that coloring is a beneficially meditative process and an outlet for creative expression at any age. Coloring and drawing have helped me find my passion in life again by slowing down and getting creative with colors and innovative designs. I create coloring books and write self-help books for self-awareness because that is what has helped me find happiness in my life, and I desire everyone in the world to feel as good as I do. Coloring is simple. Sharing is simple. Life doesn't have to be hard or messy.
Find your passion, find your truth, and live it. Live for you as you love what you do.

10 Random Facts about Me
1. I love cats. I'd be a crazy cat lady if I liked cleaning more than one litter box though....that keeps me sane! Two cats/One box is my limit. As a child I collected everything cat related. I even made collages out of cat photos from magazines and calendars.
2. I like making random words with the alphabet. I also make up my own languages by rearranging letters of the alphabet like a crypto puzzle. I use these made-up words and languages in the worlds I create on paper and in my head.
3. Final Fantasy video games have been my bread and butter since I was a kid. I've replayed them 50+ times at least, each. My all time favorite is FFIX and I am really into FFX now. I love the story lines and the underlying themes of consciousness that I now realize are there.
4. I'm a bread and potato girl. I could live on those two food groups but my body would say I need to add some fruit and other veggies in there...but what does it know? Actually I'm a vegan now so I eat a lot of fruits and veggies but my heart can live on bread and potatoes anytime.
5. My favorite animal changes depending on who asks and when. I never say 'cat' though as one would think... I'll either say 'owl', 'sea otter', or 'llama' as they are pretty awesome creatures.
6.I changed my major in college every semester. It took me 6 years to get a general degree: Bachelors of Liberal Studies (BA)
7. I used to draw maps and create worlds as a little kid. I would name every town, forest, mountain, lake, nation, etc. At that age I didn't know who Tolkien was or other authors who create these intense worlds and draw maps to follow their adventures. This may have been the preamble for my writing career and imagination in general.
8. I've listened to the same song on my Ipod over 300 times and I still like it. Do normal people do this? I can always count on Metallica, Fall Out Boy, Nickelback, Pink and various techno remixes nowadays to help boost my mood.
9. My home is full of crystals and other spiritual trinkets. I light an incense every day just because and I've been on a conscious spiritual journey since 2011. I'm still growing and expanding and debating actually meditating one of these days.
10. I love science fiction and fantasy. I love a good book, movie or video game along those lines. I also have a very active imagination and am always going on my own adventures, often involving elemental magic.
