A sunset and the ocean, ducks swimming by.

Thank you for visiting my personal blog. My name is Gina and I am a mother, grandma, student, a self-employed social worker, and nature lover.  A few interesting things about me,  I had a heart attack in my 30s, changed careers and pursued a degree in my 40s, and raised a family as a single-mom.

I had the privilege of interviewing nearly 100 people who overcame tremendous life-altering circumstances and their experiences were inspiration to me at a time that I was unsure of what way to go. This is my personal blog – it has been on pause for 5 1/2 years. I am just getting back into writing, and working on turning those incredible stories that were shared with me into a work of literature that can help others too.
