I am a teacher by day, and a mother, wife, friend, cook, housekeeper by night (haha)... Needless to say, I hardly have time to write the way I'd like to, but my goal is to use my story paint a more complete picture of individuals with mental illness and to be a voice for the husbands, sons, daughters, wives, and parents  who suffer in patient silence as they embark on the journey of healing with their struggling family member. If my writing can be a beacon of hope for just one person, then I will have achieved my mission.
