I wrote this so long ago because I didn’t know who I was. Now I know who I am, but I struggle to *be* myself. Our souls are made up of contradictions, and that’s what makes life so fun and interesting. But it’s also what makes it so confusing.

As I write my third (unpublished) novel, I hold onto who I am. “I am romance and words”. I write stories in a genre that doesn’t change the world. In fact, cozy romance stories usually get scoffed on. But they tell the truth about life and love, and who we are vs who we are *being*.

Think about it. The haughty big city girl and the amused casual country boy can fall in love by the second glance. But they can’t *be* in love until they both have the courage to *be* themselves.

And maybe, in #2022, that sort of story *can* change the world.

We’ve been through so much since #IAmMyselfBook launched preC19, and the words I wrote *then* seem to be louder *now*.

And that’s how writing works! You write, you wait, and then you bloom.

This poem is featured in my book, I Am Myself (link in bio)! The perfect book to add to your #tbrlist for #2022reads!

Bodie and I are off to the #CarsonChristmasCraftFair to find some gifts for the fam! Yes, we are matching. 🎄

The older I get (hey 33!) the more I understand that Christmas is made. You make Christmas for yourself, for your family, and for strangers around you. I’m that girl who 100% still wishes people #merrychristmas and hung lights up in my office at work. But I’m also that girl who still feels that comforting sadness around of Christmas Ghosts (like Scrooge y’all). AND that girl who still feels like she’s 6 years old waiting agonizingly forever for #Christmas!

What are some ways you’re making Christmas happen for you this year?

My favorite thing about #poetry is that it’s meaning changes with time. It’s fluid. So here are some #throwbacks for you on this beautiful Sunday. 😘

Maggie as a bunny, cerca 1990 something. Look at that smug smile. Coolest bunny around 🎃

You can read “I Am Myself” if you want! Link in bio. It’ll ship directly to your door and you don’t even have to tell anyone. But do me a favor. Read it on the floor, and say the words out loud as you read. This is the kind of story that’s worth experiencing.

“Going for it” is not as momentous as you’d think. It’s just another step in the right direction. But I think that’s better, anyway. Less intimidating.

Also — I know this type of photo was super popular like 6 years ago, but this is the first jumping photo I’ve ever taken. 🙃
