Welcome to Tales and Inspirations

I am a writer, mother, traveler, and keeper of Tales and Inspirations. I spent time traveling through Central and South America, and Asia; two years living in Viet Nam; six months in Honduras; and am currently living in the US with my husband raising my lively, life-loving, toddler. I have shared stories of my travels and life abroad through a personal blog over the years, and am looking forward to compiling those stories here, in a more professional form, for a larger audience of travelers and fellow 'outside the lines' moms. I am currently working on a book of short travel stories and a book chronicling a year in the sometimes difficult, always interesting, life of a 'trailing' spouse in Viet Nam. I hope that you will enjoy my stories and share stories of your own. I live (work/travel/read/write) to be inspired, and I hope that through my stories, I can inspire others to write, to travel, and to experience a life lived outside the lines.
