“About Me — Natalie Rivers”
A Journey Through Words: An Autobiography
I was born on a beautiful tropical island that stretches 750 miles from East to West and where the high mountains and rolling hills cover about one third of it. A place where its poverty is known to help preserve its beauty and home to the world's smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird. I then migrated to the USA when I was a young child. I can remember my first year of school was in Los Angeles, California, the Golden State. My family moved around a lot due to my parents constantly seeking opportunities for a better living. But each place added a unique chapter to my childhood. Eventually, we settled in the Sunshine State, Florida, where the vibrant culture and warm weather made it feel like home. Growing up, I was surrounded by a diverse community and beautiful landscapes, which undoubtedly shaped my love for storytelling.
I recently retired from a rewarding career in law enforcement, a journey that spanned over a decade. My experiences on the force, from the highs of making a positive impact in the community to the challenges of facing danger and adversity, have profoundly shaped who I am. With my retirement, I’m now embarking on my long-awaited journey into storytelling. This career shift is a thrilling new chapter in my life. I feel this dynamic new role allows me to blend my passion for writing with a knack for crafting compelling narratives. My job involves creating content that not only informs but also engages and inspires all audiences.
My Medium Goals
Writing on Medium has been an incredibly fulfilling part of my life. My goals on this platform are to build a community of readers who find value in my stories and insights. I aim to publish thought-provoking articles that spark conversations, encourage personal growth, and foster a sense of connection. Ultimately, I hope to establish myself as a trusted voice in the writing community and perhaps even compile a collection of essays that could be published as a book.
My Family
I share my life with my wonderful husband, who is a talented Security and Automation Career Professional. Our relationship is a beautiful blend of creativity and support; we constantly inspire each other to pursue our passions. We have a loving blended family consisting of two amazing young men, who are the center of our world. They remind me every day of the importance of seeing the world through fresh eyes. My family is my greatest source of joy and inspiration.
What Makes Me Unique
My boundless curiosity and talent for uncovering stories in unexpected places set me apart, allowing me to weave disparate ideas into resonant narratives. As an aspiring writer passionate about memoirs and short stories, I draw inspiration from personal experiences to craft meaningful and touching tales.
Topics I Write About on Medium
On Medium, I enjoy writing about a diverse range of topics. My articles often explore personal development, mental health, travel, and the intricacies of human relationships. I also have a soft spot for storytelling that delves into the realms of science fiction and fantasy. These genres allow me to stretch my imagination and invite readers to explore new worlds and ideas. However, my true passion lies in memoirs and short stories, where I can delve deep into personal experiences and craft narratives that resonate on an intimate level.
In conclusion, my journey as an aspiring writer is one of continuous discovery and connection. Through my writing, I strive to share the beauty of everyday moments, the thrill of exploring new places, and the importance of understanding ourselves and others. My life is a tapestry of experiences, relationships, and dreams, and I’m excited to see how the story unfolds.
