I've been blogging off and on since 2012, first with my blog Miss Pretty as a Peacock and now with The Phoenix Chronicles: A Female Veteran's Life Experience One Chapter at a Time. I address moving forward in life after transitioning from dependent & active duty to veteran/civilian life. I love volunteering when I can, uplifting & encouraging others, laughing at myself ( bit of a Calamity Jane), and traveling when my schedule affords me the opportunity to.
