One word you would use to describe motherhood?  

Tenderness

Finish this sentence. On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me...

frying up eggs and bacon for breakfast!

What are some causes you care about? 

A cause that is dear to my heart is organ and tissue donation. My father died unexpectedly when I was 19, and saved and improved the lives of many other people through his gift of organ donation. I always encourage my family and friends to consider registering to be an organ donor- you can register online nowadays very easily.

If you could bring one book with you on a deserted island what would it be?

 My desert island book is The Orenda by Joseph Boyden


What advice would you give potential writers/entrants to this contest? 

Enjoy the writing process! Sit, think, reflect and sip tea. Let your memories and reflections flow through you naturally. Your story is already amazing; because it is yours!
