Moments of reflection is an opportunity to share through the written word. Reflection is a critical element of living, learning and being inspired. To reflect requires one to intentionally be in a moment. To be inspired requires moments of reflection. To write requires reflection, inspiration and many moments. Leading us to the title of this site, Moments of Reflection.

I share the poetry and short stories I write, and invite you to reflect for a moment or two. I blog about my reflections and thoughts, and invite you to join in the conversation – please take a moment to register to be part of this process. And of course, I provide the opportunity to purchase the books I write.

48 Hours – A Story of Choices is a novelette (or long short story) published in September 2024. This story was written as a result of the inspiration by so many individuals who have lived with abuse, and by those who work to support those fleeing towards a better life. The intent is to raise awareness and where possible and appropriate, to open conversations.

Stories from the Bench is a collection of twenty short stories about a twenty-four hour period in the life of a bench and the thirty-two individuals who use that bench. Published in December 2024, these stories speak to the importance of family, friends and community.

Thank you for sharing this moment of reflection with me.
