Hi, friend!
I’m so glad you’re here. Truly.
My name is Dee, and I wear quite a few hats—veteran, RN, wife, stay-at-home mama, and proud dog mom. My little corner of the world is currently in Texas, where life is full, a little loud, and deeply loved.
As long as I can remember, I’ve felt drawn to words. Writing has always been my quiet constant… the place I return to when life feels overwhelming or when my heart is too full to stay silent. Before I ever knew what “being a writer” looked like, I filled journals and diaries with pieces of my days and fragments of my feelings. In high school, when planners were meant for assignments and deadlines, I used mine to record moments instead—what happened, how it felt, what lingered. Writing gave me space to breathe, to sort through my thoughts, and to make sense of the things I couldn’t say out loud yet.
I’ve tried sharing my story in different ways over the years, but I kept finding myself back here—blogging. There’s something about it that feels like home. So here I am, again, choosing words and pressing publish with an open heart.
December 2024 marked the beginning of a completely new kind of roller coaster: motherhood. Nothing could have prepared me for how deeply it would stretch me, soften me, and change me. Everything I thought I knew was rewritten in real time. And so, I decided to write, to tell the truth about it, to honor the beauty and the mess, and to share it with anyone who might need to feel a little less alone.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for taking the time to read, to listen, and to sit with me for a moment. I hope you find comfort, honesty, and maybe even a piece of yourself here too.
With love,
Dee
