About Michelle

And here we are, the part where you want to know more about me and the part where I wrangle with words in the hopes of linking them together so as to create an outline of a writerly human walking into mid-life.

Where is that door anyway?
I don’t remember seeing it, I just know I’m in that wildly exciting and frightening territory between who I was and who I am becoming, all the while still being me: maiden, mother, crone.

Favorite things? Reading, stationery, flea-market finds.

My inspiration? This beautiful ancient city I live in that teaches me to slow down and enjoy the sweetness of life.

Prized possession? A wise old cat who shows me what rest looks like.
My wish? That you find what you are looking for.
