About Jane

Welcome! I am a writer, scientist, artist, geek, empath, manysoul, and full-time human being.

In 45 years of life, I’ve had my share of challenges. I’ve grown enough to know that there’s always more to learn, that life is a constant work in progress, and that a child’s sense of wonder and imagination is essential to a happier, healthier life. I’m a perfectionist in recovery, a frequent introvert, and loner by necessity. I’m also stubborn as hell when faced with a challenge. I get lost sometimes like everyone else, but I always strive to adapt to the impermanence.

Over the past twenty-three years, I’ve dealt with a number of challenges, including depression, dissociation, chronic fatigue, Sjogren’s syndrome, and fibromyalgia. I’ve had times when I doubted my sanity, and may have briefly lost it here and there. Somehow I found my way back again, even if it was on a path far removed from the one I thought I wanted to take.

In these pages I talk about my experiences and share insights I’ve gleaned from them. I do so for two reasons: one, because sometimes it helps me to move beyond the confines of my head; and two, it might help you in your own journey.

In these pages, I’ll share some of my writing and art, past and present, to illustrate the work in progress that is my life. I also want to share the inspiration I find in the works of other creative souls and in the natural world around us.

Like me, this place will continue to evolve and grow, and I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.

Bright blessings,
Jane
