From my lighthouse heart to yours—Poetic Inclinations is a collection of my poetry, stories, and reflections inspired by everyday beauty. It’s a space for exploring joy, memory, resilience, and the quiet, beautiful moments that connect us all.

Wild Beauty hides in crashing waves, secluded places, smiling faces, poetic phrases … everywhere, and that’s where I plan to be … there to see it and bring back pieces to share.
