I used to visit my friends, stay in a house by the sea. Lush landscapes, iconic architecture, & rich history—gone. People’s homes, their lives, their stories—devastation, displacement and chaos. perspective: health, family, love and community. #LAFires #Malibu #PacificPalisades #CaliforniaWildfires

Don’t look for an occasion to be offended. Life is too short to carry unnecessary weight. 🕊️✨ Choose peace, not offense.

Christmas Gift Baskets with Love and History
They are more than gifts—they’re pieces of my story. Meyer lemons from my tree, Plantlife Herbal Lip Balm, & soaps I created in my kitchen in the 90s. I no longer own the company but today, they’re in 64 countries. Their journey started here, with me.

Live each day like it’s your last — because one day, it will be. 🕰️ No regrets, no holding back. Go all in. ❄️

2 years into writing my memoir, I attended an adoptee retreat in Berkeley, CA, in 2018. Out of that powerful experience, I formed a deep bond with Erica. This is a picture of us together during my visit to her beautiful home on Lake Michigan. ❤️ Grateful #adoptee #amwriting #writerslife

📖 I wrote a memoir about seeing the world through a child's eyes, where adults fail us, choices are stolen, and voices are silenced. It’s about a brave woman who fought for what mattered most — family. *Practically Still a Virgin

We're here to open our hearts, to know love, and to be a light for others. It's not just about me—it's about us. Every challenge, every experience, every layer peeled away through writing has brought me closer to this truth: to help others and make the world a better place. 🌍

Behind every want, every need, and every 'deserved' lesson is a story. Mine is all of it. ✨ Practically Still a Virgin
