Let's Connect

Periodically, I will shoot off a newsletter, letting you know where my musings are taking me, what I’m reading and watching. If something speaks to you, please let me know.

About Sally

Since retiring in 2019, I am happily immersed in a writing/reading life.

For 30 years I was rewarded in my career as founding artistic director of The San Diego North Coast Singers Youth Chorus in Encinitas, CA, the coastal town in San Diego North County, where I live with my husband and where we raised our four children.

Always side by side with choral music and parenting, was my writer's life.

I filled notebooks with daily goings-on, thoughts, delights, and concerns. I joined writing groups where we wrote together, and read aloud. This simple process brought me a sense of calm, a relief from worries.

Choral music is communal by nature. It's public, extroverted, and lively. My writing life brings me balance. Here I find introspection, quiet, and solitude.

Publications
