Meet the face
behind the posts
Hi, my name is Alyse Diamond. I've written dozens of these "about me" posts, and to this day, I don't know how to encapsulate all that I am, was, and want to be, but let me give it another go...
I have lived a life that no one would envy. I've had many deaths in my family, and spent years of my life grieving, and because of this, I write memoirs and spend quite a lot of time journaling as a way to cope and heal.
I have also spent a great deal of my time practicing yoga and pursuing my artistic endeavors through painting and photography to keep myself distracted and bring joy and peace into my life.
My experiences have brought about a love of many things. I've learned a lot about myself and the things that I want to pursue.
Some people can narrow down one thing to focus on, but I can't seem to do the same. I have so many things I want to do and accomplish in this life, and I've now found a way to have it all and share it all right here.
My greatest enemy is time, and knowing that there simply isn't enough of it.
What I can do now is share little bits here and there, as I decide what can have my attention at any given moment.
A Summary of Me:
I am a wife, a mother, a step mother, a medical assistant, a photographer, an artist, a yoga instructor, and an author.
I am a dog person, a nature girly, and am passionately in love with the sea and a strong cup of coffee.
Loss and grief have been my constant companions and everything I do is in an effort to both heal myself, and help bring support, compassion, community, and healing into the world around me.
I was born and raised in Spanish Fork, Utah (US) and in 2018 moved to Oregon (US). I divorced my first husband of 15 years in 2021, and married the love of my life in 2024. We now have a beautiful blended family, and support one another through the challenges of co-parenting.
What You will Find Here:
The books I write, both memoir and fiction.
The meditations I create to support anyone and everyone looking for a little self-care in our busy world.
And a place for SUPPORT, to help you get through this messy thing called life, which includes podcasts, tool kits, and community.
I appreciate that you are here, and have taken a moment to get to know me a little better.
Your support is everything.
Much love,
Alyse Diamond
