pursue my passion for writing and art. In pursuing my goals, I discovered my faith and courage by taking a few steps toward becoming a writer. My courage to believe in myself moved me forward.
I have discovered my passion for storytelling and carrying on the family legacy in my writing. I’m thankful for the opportunity that I was there for her those last six months of her life. She passed away on Mother’s Day, a month after her ninety-third birthday.
Since then, I have combined my passion for writing and art to create and publish. I have written and illustrated the children’s book Rosie’s Christmas Wish and a series of journal notebooks. Last spring, I shared my story with host Margie Peterson on the podcast STOMP! With Debbie Walker. Some of my work is featured in the best-selling book, The Community Book Project: Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude available on Amazon.
A book of poetry and a memoir is in the works. As Rose CG, I also share other stories and poems about life on my blog on
Medium.com.
My passion is to inspire others to find their own voices so they can share their stories.
Even after all this time, I still consider myself a stutterer because I never know when stuttering will pop back into my life.
The most valuable lesson I have learned along my life’s journey is that I am good enough just the way I am.
