One life. Many stories.

Sometimes, life launches you forward with confidence and a sense of purpose.
Sometimes… it leaves you frozen, staring down a pile of “what ifs?”

The best-laid plan — when you were twenty — was to go from point A to point B in a straight line, unscathed. But you’re older now. You know life doesn’t work like that. Am I right? The twists and turns have taught you how to hug the bends in the road, often white-knuckled and holding on for dear life.

Boy, do I get that!

Hi, I’m Anne. I write stories about real life — from the brave, adventurous parts to those raw, cringy instances that hold a mirror up to the mess and vulnerability of being human. My stories are for anyone who’s ever tried to find meaning in the middle of chaos, healing in the middle of heartbreak, or laughter in the thick of life’s absurdity.

But let’s hold the drama — sometimes meaning shows up in the mundane. A quiet interaction, a fleeting moment that didn’t feel like much at the time, but over the years, ripples into something unforgettable. You look back and realize that moment shaped you. It changed you.

At the heart of it all, my stories hinge on connection. By sharing my own detours, discoveries, and deeply human experiences, I hope it feels like a conversation with a trusted friend — one that gives us both permission to feel all the feelings. One that helps us name our fears, our wants, and the things that tug quietly but persistently at our souls. Life’s an adventure after all, we should enjoy the ride with kindred spirits.

Thanks for dropping by. I’m really glad you’re here.
