Hi! Welcome :)
​My name is Heather!
Prior to my chronic illness, I was an avid traveler and roamer at heart. My favorite place in the world is France, where one day I hope to retire looking at the Mediterranean Sea! I currently live with my beautiful dog Daisy; who was everything I didn’t know I needed. Before Daisy, I was blessed with Sophie, who made me a dog person. She faithfully never left my side for fifteen years. I’m an extrovert and enjoy meeting and hearing people’s stories. I love art, interior design, reading, and watching a variety of TV. I loved playing golf and am an avid Marquette basketball fan. My family and friends mean the world to me.
​
To learn more about me, my blog shares lots from my journey with chronic illness to the more recent articles I’ve enjoyed doing for our community papers.
But enough about me…I’m hear to learn about you!
