about the author
writing terrifies me. writing provokes me. writing inspires me. writing identifies me. writing drives me. writing defines me. writing speaks for me. writing frees me. writing challenges me. writing protects me. writing excites me. writing humbles me.
writing teaches me, writing stimulates me, writing creates me, writing pisses me off while making me smile every time. writing has a way of always entering my mind with sequenced words i adore whenever i am without a pen. writing pays nothing and nothing is my everything.
truth is so freeing and when words to my real truth come to life, i hold no shame or guilt but rather heal. i have only just begun.
i’ll say this. my name is kimberly gray and have never considered myself a writer, rather a messenger. grandiose, i hope not, but i have a strong need to touch people. a belief that sharing my experience, strength and hope is not for nothing, and ask only for a small something.
i now know my life and every speck of my pain, has created an enormous gift of some kind. in the strangest of ways. eventually.
