The genesis to my story of how I came to love writing really begins with my mother. 

Once, at seven or eight years old I told her I was really bored. It was a weekend day.

"Bored?" She said. "Here, I'll help you." 

She proceeded to hand me a full page list of chores and the tasks kept me occupied until near bedtime. 

I dreaded the idea of another long list from my mother.

In order to make sure I was never bored again, I took a spiral notebook and started writing stories about the places I knew. 

I wrote a book, binding it with cardboard and took photographs to make it a picture book.

Now the stories I like to tell are of the places we all know; the freedom of traveling, the joy of closeness, the world of grief, curiosity of our internal homeland. 

I send letters each month exploring those places, those parts of life (You can read them here).

These letters from me to you are meant to be a digital space for what feels true, either in the form of fictional stories,

or stories from my own life.
