I am a writer (with a day job at a university). I always struggle between the practical and creative sides of me - doing what it takes to stay employed to raise my kids and keeping the creative side of me engaged. I am surrounded by people who have learned how to make a living off their creative skills and either yet didn’t trust my skills, dedication or the source of my creativity to make a steady living from it. I am shaping my life and writing now to work towards the shift and my goals aren’t financial but more on a connective level. Tapping into my experiences with life-being a Korean adoptee and a single mom, etc. - I want to help foster connections and support for others. We are all here together and it’s a better world when we support each other!
