To tell the tale
In April, I participated in a meeting of what’s known as a “death café.” It was a small group meeting including me and about six strangers, none of us with any connection to each other.

"It's just Trisha"
When you meet someone, their name might be the first thing to draw curiosity. What does it mean? Where does it come from? Is it short for anything? The answer I've given at times in my case — at least to the last question — is, "No, it's just Trisha." And a title based on introductions felt fitting for a website that's an introduction to my life.
So, come and learn about me through my personal writing. And hey, you already know one thing from the title.
What's in a name?
Welcome back and thank you for being here. Let’s begin my journey in the same place I started: where my names came from and what meaning they hold.

From humble beginnings...
Hello! My name is Trisha Madeline Nail — local newspaper reporter, casual hiker, regular traveler and a dabbler in photography. I'm aspiring to try more hobbies like crafting and cooking. And I might be the biggest lover of dogs without currently owning one.
