At 38, I'm a single mom of six and grandma of four, living in a small town in Eastern New Mexico. My journey has included overcoming adversity, from a challenging childhood to experiences with addiction and homelessness. Writing has been my lifeline, a source of strength and resilience. I'm passionate about exploring themes of personal growth, change, and giving a voice to those who may not have one. I'm excited to participate in this challenge to share my voice, learn from others, and continue to grow as a writer, inspiring hope and empowering others to find their own strength.
