Let me please introduce myself. My name is Shayla. I am a dreamer, a thinker and most recently, a doer. I haven't always had the courage to step out and try new things, but I have recently discovered the thrill of accomplishing long-awaited goals. It's thrilling and has motivated me to reach for bigger dreams! (Check out my blog entitled, "Daring to Dream.") I've learned a few things about myself over the last few transitional years. One of the ways I operate the most effectively is when I make time and space for me to write. I haven't used it as a tool as much as I should have... that is until now! I write lists to organize my busy brain and use the keyboard to release stress. I live in California and am married to an incredible man who supports my dreams of becoming a children's book author. I have three beautiful children, and thank my God everyday that I get to be their Mama. 

​

My goal here, is to practice my writing skills, and to connect with you. Please reach out if something struck you from a blog post I wrote, or even if I look like your cousin, Sherrie. I love people and making connections! I am also a newbie to the world of writing publicly, but am not afraid to seek out new ventures. So please, if you know of someone or something that could help me grow as an author, please feel free to let me know.
