About Me

Lovely Haze is a personal writing space about becoming. Even if it is slowly, imperfectly, and often without clarity.

I’m a mother of three, a longtime teacher, and a writer who spent years doing what was responsible, expected, and safe. Much of my life has been shaped by early responsibility, complicated family dynamics, motherhood at a young age, marriage and divorce, remarriage, grief, and the quiet pressure to appear fine even when I wasn’t.

This blog isn’t about advice or answers. It’s about the interior moments we rarely name — the ones that shape us long before we understand them.

I write about:

• motherhood beyond the curated version
• identity, shame, and worth
• family roles we inherit and carry
• bodies that change and the stories we tell about them
• relationships that form us, fracture us, and follow us
• the tension between who we appear to be and who we actually are

The writing here lives in three spaces:

The Formation — where early experiences shape how we learn to survive and belong.
The Haze — where life feels confusing, heavy, unresolved, or quietly overwhelming.
The Clearing — where perspective comes not from fixing, but from living long enough to see differently.

Lovely Haze is not a place for self-improvement or certainty.
It’s a place for honesty, reflection, and recognition.

I’m not writing to inspire you to be better.
I’m writing to sit with what’s already true.
