The Face You See is my debut novel as a writer and inspired the following books of the series. I was born and raised in California where I began volunteering with Youth Programs dedicated to helping teens find mentors. Remembering how lost and confused I was as a teenager gave me the conviction to help those who felt just as alone as I had. I eventually began working in Alaska doing much of the same work before going to Haiti and the Aleutian Islands to build houses, distribute food and medical supplies, as well as disaster relief. I met my husband while working abroad and eventually settled down in Canada where we now have three beautiful children. I am thankful I escaped the circumstances of my childhood but acknowledge the fact that not everyone has the opportunity; most are left with lingering scars. This series captures that complex moment when a person finds the courage to let go of the painful circumstances of their life, the people that hurt them, and the guilt they feel for leaving while crossing over to accept themselves. My passion has always been to help, to serve, and to protect young women. By writing what I believe are messages of encouragement to those who have been in similar situations to those I have experienced and worked with, I believe they can be given hope. I am currently a High School English teacher, and have always had a passion for books as well as writing stories

Honest Illusions As I stare within translucent wa Honest Illusions

As I stare within translucent walls,
silk pellucid barriers built of delicate lies I tell myself,
I realize the Time I’ve waisted living within a delusion;
each crevice a memory, every shard a deception;
Marring the incandescence of my cage.
Slivers of light remain, just beyond the barriers, out of reach.
A tantalizing mirage of hope, a secret I hold close, 
an honest illusion; more forthright than the truth.

Often, I feel glass walls encased around my soul;
vices built of expectations, of grave disappointments, 
and writhe beneath them. 
The hopes and dreams I once lived and breathed,
enclosed within a glass partition;
fine fragility seen and delicately confined, elusive; 
lying just beyond the confines I erected within. 
This is my confession:
That when one chooses to lock away their pain,
they lock away their propensity to grieve, 
to heal, to hope, to dream, to live.
As I contemplate the truth:
that I locked away the means of my own freedom long ago,
and I acknowledge the reality of my predicament, 
the paradigm of my own self-deception,
that I shut away a piece of myself that I can never get back;
caged within the glass walls within me,
lying just beyond reach. #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #selflove #truth #love #writer
