About Me

I am a dreamer, a seeker, and a keeper of stories. My words are more than ink on a page—they are constellations of thought, woven from vulnerability, courage, and the echoes of my heart’s triumphs and trials.

Welcome to Whispering Willow, LLC—a sanctuary where words breathe magic, poetry finds its rhythm, and creativity flourishes. Here, storytelling isn’t just an art; it’s a journey—an exploration of untold tales and whispered truths.

Life has shaped me in many ways, through love, loss, reinvention, and renewal. Raised in the quiet embrace of Hesperia, Michigan, I have always been drawn to the beauty of nature, the wisdom of silence, and the lessons tucked within its stillness. Now, as I split my time between Michigan and Oklahoma City, my experiences weave themselves into my writing, creating a tapestry of memories, reflections, and discoveries.

A proud grandmother, student, and emerging writer, I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing at Baker College. My passions extend beyond academia—I am captivated by writing, painting, drawing, reading, and traveling. Each pursuit fuels my creativity, broadens my perspective, and strengthens my ability to connect with the world around me.

Poetry is my deepest form of self-expression, a language through which I explore the silent conversations of nature, the unspoken wisdom of the night, and the whispered secrets of the willow trees. My writing is an ever-evolving journey—a path paved with metaphors and dreams, leading me to profound discoveries with each verse.

But Whispering Willow, LLC is more than just a blog—it’s a haven where words take shape, ideas find clarity, and stories transcend time. Here, you’ll find a collection of my poetry, each piece a reflection of my essence, an imprint of my experiences, and a testament to my growth as a writer.

Beyond storytelling, Whispering Willow, LLC offers essential services to ensure that your words speak with precision and impact. Whether you need online proofreading and editing for resumes, cover letters, or newsletters, or require meticulous notary services, our commitment to excellence ensures that your documents carry the strength of your true voice. With a passion for language and an eye for detail, our goal is to refine and elevate your writing while preserving its authenticity.

I believe in the power of words, their ability to shape understanding, inspire action, and create lasting connections. As I embark on this journey of publishing my first story, I invite you to join me in the ever-changing waters of poetry and creativity. Whether you seek a poetic escape, a thoughtful editor, or a trusted hand to verify your documents, Whispering Willow, LLC stands as your partner in words.

Thank you for being a part of my story—I can’t wait to see where this path leads us!
