      <image:title>The Lit-House - 10,000 Small Deaths - Jason Fullerton is a child of God, husband of 16 years, father to 3 beautiful children who drive him to the brink of insanity and boundless joy each and every day, and a recently soil baptized farmer working hard to make the world a better tasting, greener, and healthier space for all of humanity. He is a kid at heart who loves to dance, sing unabashedly, and play with the worms in the dirt, as long as his aging body will keep up with him. A mad farmer who will never become predictable in word or deed, nor be a participant and vocal supporter of the status quo, only of what is loving and good to those at the margins.</image:title>

Her writing is a heartfelt exploration, a journey that intertwines observations, experiences, and learnings. For Alyssa, writing is more than a creative outlet; it's a profound way to uncover the beauty and connection between things, and to connect with God.  Through her writing and work with children, Alyssa hopes to inspire expression, compassion, connection, generosity, and wonder.</image:title>
