I've taken a lot of detours in my life. I've followed roads less traveled, and driven life's highway fast and furious at times and slow and soulful at others. Above all else, it is the courage to set off and the conviction that I am here to celebrate this chronicle of a life unfolding that has led me on and into the beauty of my soul in this place and time. Journey to the Heartland is the story of what I discovered along the way when I dared to say yes to what was next.
Book Excerpt
Journey to Heartland
I climbed into the driver’s seat at 5 o’clock sharp, headed into the unknown. On the verge of a month of making peace with who I am, I gunned the gas for good measure, as if to send a signal to the world that I was not backing down so easily.
