About
Open My Card
I have been a writer all my life.
​
Bits and pieces of the places I have been, images of things I have seen, the
people I have I met, and how to preserve the awe of each with
shareable stories, have always kept me up at night.
​
I feel like a shy child, clutching a hand-made card behind her back.
Even though it is worn and ragged from being held too tightly for so long,
blurred by colors that do not stay within the lines,
I want to share what I have created.
​
Ever so slowly, open my card. Read me.
Open A Door
All that you want to find is out there, waiting for you.
Around the time I celebrated a major-milestone birthday, I was struck by the revelation that if I waited for someone to give me permission to go and live my own true life that I would never have the chance.
​
So I gave it to myself.
​
Red Toad Road is a highway into my travels and travails, my observations and opinions. It is a heart-healthy serving of my passions and constant imagination, and all the things in life that inspire me to take bold steps out into this crazy, amazing world.
​
I hope you will come along for the journey, and be inspired to open your own door to adventure.
