Dear Daughter. Live Your Life.

August 10, 2020 By Kim

Dear Daughter, As you navigate the choppy waters of womanhood (and damn, those are some high, white-capped swells), please, oh please, hear my voice, my love. Hear it, sweet child. Please don’t shrug me off. Hear it ringing through the din, right through these confounding, life-sorting years; right past your indifference, your boredom with me, […]

Special K

June 24, 2020 By Kim

Keith. We lost him when my children were little. They grew up with a wonderful grandfather, but not this one. I have a few scattered pictures and memories of my father with my kids, but they never got a chance to know him. He said Tyler was a thinker, and Jami was fearless. I’d say […]

About Kim

I am a poet, a writer, an over-the-top mischief maker, a trash talker, and an old school dirty bird. I will never (ever) say no to a properly aerated glass of Malbec on a Friday night. I use words like “feminist” and “sartorial” and “no” and actively flirt with a decline in readership whenever I put them all into one, cohesive sentence. I like mountain biking, trails, succulents, books, inspirational quotes and vivid dreams. I strive to live with a grateful, open heart. What I know to be true is that there is always time for personal reflection and change. It's never too late to grow new wings and learn to fly again. Namaste!

My essays and poetry can also be found at Rebelle Society, The Elephant Journal, The Manifest-Station, The Minds Journal, The Imperfect Parent, Scary Mommy, BonBon Break, Litchfield Magazine, The Block Island Times, and Today's Mama.
