this is a story about desire from a woman who knows the pain of living with an open heart. a story of surrender from one who has, too many times, refused to surrender. a story of a girl and her God, learning to live, to dance, to rest, to be.

 let me
    keep my mind on what matters,
    which is my work,
    which is mostly standing still and learning to be
    astonished.

I wrote my first book when I was barely out of preschool. My childhood was full of violin lessons, creating works of fiction, climbing trees, and playing in the dirt. I think I have always been an artist.
