I'm most at home when I'm swimming: every aspect of my life tends to go better when I swim every day. Here in New Mexico there's no beach, but this mermaid will always find the water. I am, and always have been, in love with the ocean--but I'll take a pool any day if there's no beach nearby.
I've been very sick since early childhood, but have survived thanks to an active, healthy lifestyle: always dancing, hiking in the beautiful Black Forest where I was raised, swimming any chance I could find, both locally at the pool, and also on beloved trips to the beach.
But for me an active lifestyle must also include an active mind: creating and loving art, writing and reading endlessly.
Six months ago my health worsened and I entered a period of forced rest. Now--finally!--my doctors have given me permission to swim again!
I created this blog to combine my love of swimming with my love of writing. A healthy mind, a healthy body, a healthy life (-:
Wherever she wanders, be it the tall green forest or the dusty hot desert, this mermaid will find the water, and will sing her siren song.
