I am a writer, editor, musician, knitter, mom, wife, cook, reader and general Renaissance woman living outside of Seattle, Washington. I am average, although I do not mean that as an insult or a put-down – and my family would undoubtedly try to convince you otherwise. I have a gift, however, of living a very large life on a relatively small scale, of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. I am the empress of the everyday, curator of the curious.
