Thanks for stopping by!

This is the home for my longtime blog: Debbie’s Stories. I write to encourage connection by describing what it means to be human. I’m a lawyer-turned-writer living a dream that many might find unusual. I hope that by sharing my experiences—large and small, good and bad—you’ll find something relatable. I believe so many lessons can be learned from nature and dogs, which is why you will see those themes often in my blog posts.

When we’re able to relate to one another, we feel less alone.

As a paid subscriber, you’ll get every blog post hot off the press, as well as access to my entire blog archive, dating back to 2014.

Free subscribers receive my monthly newsletter: But I Digress.

I wrote a book that people really like! Everyone has a family: how much do you know about yours? Crossing Fifty-One: Not Quite a Memoir is available everywhere books are sold.
