I named my website “TRIPPING UP” because it seems like I have learned most of my life lessons the hard way (The School of Hard Knocks). However, I am encouraged when I read “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again” (Proverbs 24:16). As I am picked up by God’s mercy, I write poems, stories and songs to express my thoughts. I would describe myself as a therapeutic journalist, meditative poet and optimistic melancholic.
