Anda Unscripted
At 40, my life took a drastic turn. This is my unfiltered account of navigating the uncertainty of a career change, divorce, and a cross-country move back to where it all began. Let's prove it's okay to start over, again. Join me, Anda, an author, former park ranger, and breast cancer survivor, as I share insights from my adventures and embrace the unknown in a beautiful, chaotic world.

Thoughts - November 17, 2023
Writing is a passion of mine and this is a way that I can keep that passion alive. Rambling is valuable. In these moments we can be closer. I shape my voice and begin to share things that I want to shout from the rooftops. Those will eventually go on the homepage. For now, these quiet thoughts are tucked here in my journal as a reminder to keep going because what I am doing is worth the effort.
