Welcome to What a Beautiful Mess

Thank you for finding my writing here. Formerly known as Humble Pie, I freelanced for nine years for our local paper and was published in various magazines and newsletters around the country. An unfortunate series of events changed the way and place I share my thoughts. But as I’ve always known, when a door closes, a window opens. I’m new to this window, but what a beautiful view and a spectacular breath of fresh air. So happy to be here. So happy you’re here with me.
