Every day brings new adventures and new challenges.  My journey as a mother, nurse, Birthing From Within Mentor, sister, daughter, friend, wife, writer, and woman are one journey.  They are my journey and I learn and grow from each one every day.  They are all me and I am all them.

In this blog you will find reflections and relationships of all of my selves and maybe some inspiration for your journey from the heart with passion!  What you should know – I love parenting, I love breaking the rules, I love asking questions, I love being self-reflective, I love trying new things and asking others how they know what they know.  I love being a nurse, I love writing, I love being a mom and a woman.

BLUE is a color I wear, PURPLE is a color I dream and RED is the color I live.  When my daughter was born, the ring of fire was so intense, I thought I was giving birth to the sun.  Her red hair and fiery spirit liven up my life and inspire my soul.  Raising Red is a place to share my fire.  Share yours with me!
