I have been a doctor, lawyer, plumber,and a referee. You guessed it, I have been and I still am a single parent. And being a parent has been my favorite job, that is why I have worn all the other hats. 

I have always loved writing poetry, painting life with words gives me such pleasure. And my children when they were small, asking for stories, that is where I really learned that telling tall tales could be so much fun. To watch them hide under the blankets waiting for me to say, I got you!And to hear their laughter, and squeals for one more story, well it brought me so much joy.

Together we traveled to far away places, and played with a fairy or two, flew with butterflies, and chatted with forest friends. And when they were older, on halloween nights around lighted candles, we told ghost stories. Not the tried and true ones, no my girls always insisted that I told my own. In a sense, my children are where I was born,  they  are my infinite gold.

MEET MY GIRLS

Someone asked me once, why do you write? And I answered them honestly. I don’t write to get rich, or to get noticed, but those things are nice. But I do it because my writing is just as much a part of me, as breathing is to any of us. However, there is something more, in fact, there are six parts that define who I am. My children (4) myself, and my writing. And if I were to lose any part of what makes me whole, I am afraid that I will lose myself completely.
