Welcome to My Blog
There is nothing more I like than yapping. This is a space where I share poems, short stories, and spiels about my life as a displaced appalachian.
 
      
      Finding My Rhythm Again
The past two weeks have flown by in a blur of library shelves, yarn, and new routines. Between starting my new job and learning how to crochet a donkey for my niece, I’ve been learning what balance really means—and how healing can quietly take root in everyday life.

      momma’s windchimes
There’s nothing I love more than the song of windchimes. When I lived at home, the best naps were taken when the windows were up, curtains blowing in the wind, and my momma’s windchimes singing me to sleep.
conversations with a stranger
These are all real conversations I have had with people after leaving Estill County, Kentucky for college in 2011. Codeswitching is something I only recently learned about and realized that the longer I’ve been away from home, the better I am at codeswitching. This poem explores that.
