She is inspired by much in life, though most recently by the adventures of motherhood and the journey required to raise her two strong daughters (though she does certainly love traveling too, by plane, train, or automobile)! Ashley is a genetic counselor and educator by training who enjoys the nuances of human behavior such as dreaming, laughing, breathing in the great outdoors, expressing simple acts of kindness and dancing like nobody is watching. Last but not least, she loves writing children's stories, namely Gilly and Zilly, with her mother, Jocy.Jocy Mills is a poet, writer and author of the new short story "Gilly & Zilly and the Colorful Crew". A professionally trained psychologist, Jocy spent the last few decades using her degree to raise four independent incredible daughters.
