Welcome to the Patio

Hi there. I’m so glad you’re here.

Patio Perspectives began as a personal space for me to pause, reflect, and write through life’s harder, quieter moments. I started this blog during a time when everything felt heavy—emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Writing became my way of making sense of things.

This isn’t a place for polished answers or picture-perfect stories. It’s a place for truth—sometimes messy, sometimes hopeful, always honest.

If you're looking for a space that doesn’t rush past the hard stuff, you’re in the right place.

I’ll be sharing moments from my life—motherhood, marriage, friendships, healing, identity shifts—and the lessons (or questions) that come with them. Some days, I’ll write from the middle of the mess. Other days, I’ll write from a place of peace. But all of it will be real.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Personal reflections and life updates

  • Stories that feel honest, not edited for perfection

  • Thoughtful insights on healing, identity, and growth

  • A space to slow down and just breathe

So pour something warm (or cold during this crazy heat wave), pull up a chair, and settle in.

Thank you for sitting with me. Let’s begin.
