I am Alice (AW), the creator of Women That Write. I created this community because I wanted women to have a place where they can go to heal, connect, brainstorm, and craft our unique stories while learing from each other. I have always been the creative type and always thinking outside of the box. I am spiritual but not religious; meaning I know and follow a power higher than me (that I call God), but I am not controlled by the noise that man has created to control others. On the personal side, I love helping others to find the story within themselves. I truly believe that is my purpose. I enjoy watercolor painting, my passion is writing and traveling. I am the author of three books ( https://www.awbeauchamp.com/between-afternoon-and-evening) and the most beautiful place I have ever traveled to is Cape Town, South Africa. My goal is to move to the country and grow my own food and live in a tiny house and write while listening to smooth jazz playing in the background. Now it is your turn, tell where you have been, where you are and where you are going. I can’t wait to hear your story and how you can turn it into your legacy.
