Hi. I’m Sonya.

I’m a writer. A former ICU nurse. A mother of four (by birth and adoption). A motherless daughter. An immigrant’s kid. A wife. I have a deep personal faith in God and hold humor as a core value.

Why subscribe?

Subscribing is support. It’s connection. (And it’s the easiest way to be friends.)

It’s like deciding you’re no longer going to just wave at your neighbor but actually introduce yourself and invite her in for coffee.

— Except without ANY of the pressure or potential awkwardness.

Subscribing gives you full access to the newsletter and website and you’ll never miss an update. (For now, all content is free, a paid subscription is a way to support my writing in a profoundly tangible way.)

Also, you’re joining in here with a whole bunch of great people.

We know how to be serious. But we also know how to laugh. I can guarantee you will get excellent book recommendations and recipes to try.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!

What’s a paid subscription?

When I started writing, I started finding feathers in the most unexpected places. So ONLY if you’re able, a paid subscription is a virtual ‘feather’ to me. It supports my writing life in a way that says ‘I want to help you keep going.’ Thank you for considering it.

In the near future, I hope write posts only for paid subscribers, but for now, everything is free.
