I am a wife, mother, sister, educator, writer, and ovarian cancer survivor. I have been living with ovarian cancer for close to a decade and have found it to be incredibly cathartic to share my personal journey with cancer through my writing. I am blessed to be part of a memoir writing group at the Eldredge Public Library in Chatham, MA, where each week I am inspired by wonderful writers and encouraged to be brave enough to share my story. I spend as much time as possible sitting by the ocean, enjoying friends and family, and treasuring the peaceful gifts of life.
