diary of a gen Xer
a companion on the path of self-discovery
Diary of a Gen Xer is the creative crucible and dedicated space for the unfolding of my journey—a journey spanning four decades of curious exploration, both inward and outward. The work curated here reflect my attempt to satisfy an insatiable curiosity and fervent fascination with the human experience, not to mention my innate desire to make art out of this little thing called life.
What you’ll find here is part autobiography, part memoir—a love letter, if you will, to fellow Gen Xers and seekers on the path—along with random musings and evocative excerpts I feel compelled to share as I navigate life as a wildly imperfect, middle-aged, female-bodied human.

This space honors the women in my lineage who came before me and celebrates all the women, including my daughter, who will carry forward their own unique expression of the divine feminine.
