What’s it all about?
I’m a writer, traveler, and woman currently starting over from scratch at the age of 40.
After ten years of living abroad, a failed marriage, and the end of a career, I am repatriating back to the U.S to rebuild my life from the ground up. Along the way, I am redefining what home, ambition, and identity mean in this new chapter.
Morgan in Wanderland is a weekly newsletter about personal reinvention, wandering (both geographically and metaphorically), and finding resilience while carving out a new path.

Stories from Wanderland
Flash and microfiction for a dose of creativity
Whether you're entering midlife, exiting a relationship, switching careers, relocating, or simply reimagining what's possible—you're not too late, and you're not alone.
This is not a how-to guide. It’s a field journal.
If you’re in a season of wandering, welcome. Let’s trudge through the muck together.
