I write to keep my mindset focused on the light. A survival tactic turned into a passionate purpose. My poetry and quotes are simple, heartfelt, message driven, and hopefully go straight to the soul. It is my mission to provide words that can be used everyday, as well as in those moments life hits hardest.

Words carry what they are and poetry is not just for literary minded poetry buffs, it can be used in so many ways to simply ease the rub of this life – a balm if you like. I hope you will find comfort and new perspectives in my books as well as some things you already knew but had perhaps forgotten along the way. It’s a rocky ride, this world, and I like to think poetically arranged words are like medicine for soul-flu. A hug on a page. A glimmer in the grey. A reminder that even in the worst of times there is hope, there is light and there are others who have been where you are.
