She has won first-place prizes for her writing from the Utah Arts Council and the Henry’s Fork Foundation in Idaho. Other publications include Uneasy Survivors: Five Women Wri

“I love Lena Horne's "It's not the load that breaks you down. It's the way you carry it."

And Annie Dillard"s roughly remembered: Sometimes you have to just jump off the edge and find your wings on the way down.”
Jeri Parker

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you.”
Carl Sandburg

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“Nobody hits it right more of the time than E. B. White: "All writing is both a mask and an unveiling.”
