Mighty Member since July 2016
I am a woman of many passions, and I rediscovered my love of writing after losing myself in the throes of depression and addiction. I have been in recovery 4 years, and my life until recently was blessed beyond my greatest imagination. My world was changed in an instant when my husband, the father of our two teen boys, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and lost his courageous battle in September 2017. It is here when the test of my sobriety could have faltered, but instead, I gained a strength beyond myself that keeps me striving for a life of purpose, even on the darkest days. Faith is now my strongest lifeline, and I write to share my story in hopes that while it continues to heal my own pain, it may also reach beyond to help another.
