About Me

I'm a modern-day Renaissance Woman here to use Medium as my quill. As a "dancing French hornist turned Musical Theatre author," I've always considered life to be a journey toward something resembling full potential, whatever that means. Push the envelope. Stay hungry. Pour that cocktail that perfectly balances a finger of dreams with a splash of groundedness and a twist of YOLO. And yet I'm human and get lost in the nooks and crannies of this English Muffin we call life. Absurd? Probably. Follow for more.

What is Amused Bouche?

Humorous personal essays and short stories based on my life's very real twists and turns, reflections, and experiences that are, as David Sedaris would say, "true enough."

What is Gleam (GleamDaily)?

Gleam is for anyone interested in dipping their toe into the worlds and intersections of spirituality, philosophy, and psychology. This blog is not a masterclass in mysticism, meditation, stoicism, therapy, or any specific practice, though it will explore them. Gleam is about gleaning inner wisdom for a gleaming life. It is slow. It is patient. It is lifelong. In other words, come along for my journey of inner exploration. Let go of the goal, and open your mind and heart to discovering your intuitive voice along the way. And if that leads you, me, or us, to something resembling authenticity, self-actualization, or a general sense of wholeness, then no matter if you’re a convicted Athiest, Muslim, Catholic, or w h a t e v e r— it will be time well-spent.
