When I feel blocked or temporarily out of ideas, I read, scroll on social media, watch a movie, pet my cats, take a nap, or cook and then eat. I find that anything sensory and relaxing can open up the floodgates of creativity.

Right now, I'm thinking about the villa in Italy in Andre Aciman's Call Me By Your Name. It seems like the perfect place to get lost for a few weeks. Of course, the Perlmans and Oliver would have to be there with me.

Never doubt your own voice. Everyone has a valuable story to tell and through the telling of your truth, you touch other's hearts and help them make sense of the world. We can change the world one story at a time, don't doubt your own impact on other people's hearts and souls.

When I was a kid, I turned to writing and visual art to express myself and through that I found solace and healing.
I decided to write Permission to Land as a way of making sense out my relationship with my mother, it started as me digging my way out of my mother’s bipolarity and addiction to drugs.
But it quickly became me digging myself out of my own anxiety and addictions to people pleasing and apologizing for myself that were caused by my complicated relationship with my mother, and then making sense of my relationships with men, my marriages, and all the different facets of my life.
