  • What do you do?

    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

    As a writer since I was a teenager, I hate this question the most. I’ve had plenty of odd jobs but my passion has always been writing. Being an unemployed writer is ironic as I’m currently looking for work.

    Being asked what I do is one of those questions I can’t stand. I’ve been a site leader for a non-profit, spoken to people in crisis on top of working as a volunteer.

    Being uni educated hasn’t brought the jobs that I thought it would. I’m currently working on my second book; & just about finished the first read through. I’m hopeful that a publisher will want my book.

    What question drives you nuts?

  • What experiences have had the biggest impact.

    The experiences that have formed my life the most have been finishing uni over 20 years ago. It was a big milestone in my life.

    The death, although expected of my beloved grandma(Farmor.) Within the last few years. She was my biggest supporter & went out of her way for me. I’m forever grateful for her & her kindness.

    Finishing my Habitat builds when I was in college. Knowing I had made a difference for a family, by getting them off the streets & into a house.

    Moving away from Seattle after spending nearly two decades in the city. A part of me will always be part of that city.

  • Moving away from Seattle

    Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

    After spending almost 20 years there, it was hard to move away. I still miss my favorite cafés & the amazing Asian food that was in the city.

    Seattle will always have a special place in my heart as I spent most of my young adulthood there. I celebrated both my 30th & my 40th birthday in that city.

    I still have a cupcake place I love in that city & many other places I miss that are either gone or changed. Moving away in 2016 was harder than I thought.

    Anyway, I got my favorite coffee for my birthday this year, Monorail Espresso from one of my steadfast places in town. It’s one of the first coffee stands in the city.
