Challenge: Write about your aspirations, as a creator, on Vocal in 2024. The same New Years resolution board is up in my office from 2022.

I write for challenges never expecting to win or place.

My Vocal Story Gone Without a Trace
Writing, in any form, is deeply personal. Each word is a fragment of oneself. My journey with writing has been lifelong, evolving from journaling a daily decades-old routine to authoring a book on life lessons I learned from raising dogs and children. I've also enjoyed penning over 300 book reviews and multiple articles about life.
