Becoming a mother created the most significant shift in Ruth's life and how she sees the world. A job that is equal parts amazing and challenging, especially when attempting to break generational trauma.
Ruth is passionate about growing communities of women who can find comfort and empathy in knowing they are not alone.
Ruth enlisted in the Navy in 2001, where she met and married her husband, then spent twelve years as a military wife.
She lived as an expatriate after her husband retired.
Writing about her military service and that of her husband, father, and grandfather has deepened her understanding of the complexities of war and the military, and of the generations who came before her.
Ruth's story encompasses her youth and the adult she has become. She writes about the evolution of her relationship with her aging parents and siblings. Ruth ponders the aging body and mind, and growing wisdom on trivial matters and people.
She also reflects on her family lineage and the roots of her past.
