Hello, I'm Deb!
Writing has been my lifelong passion and stress relief, with poetry flowing from my heart since childhood. After my cancer diagnosis in 2020, I began turning my words into published books—transforming personal stories, emotions, and creativity into inspiring collections for readers worldwide.

Why I Started This Site
There are several reasons why I started this site:
I realized that when I was diagnosed with cancer, you can’t take your material things, but you can take all the wisdom you learned from overcoming life’s obstacles.
When I was struggling, God sent people to help me who had already been through what I was facing into my life. Sometimes they stayed for a long time, a season, sometimes just a moment—but they helped me take the next step.
COVID has sent people into their homes, and people have lost their sense of community. People aren’t sharing with other people in person
Technology has become the tool everyone is using to communicate. Families don’t share life lessons, the older generation no longer shares with the younger, and knowledge is being lost. If people are using technology to communicate life’s lessons, then we need to give people a way to share them.
One Last Thing
We are not here to pretend I have it all figured out. We are not here to fix anyone. Whatever you’re going through, someone has walked a similar road—and they made it through. Maybe their story can help you take your next step. And maybe, one day, your story will help someone else do the same.
Welcome to Surviving Life Lessons.
Come as you are. Leave with hope.
