I want to live life like I used to dream life could be...I have finally decided that it is time to start doing what I've always wished I did: write. Bear with my rough starts, I'm a novice, but my passion is real.

My passion is ...

writing, teaching, beagle dogs, and my little family.

I know too much about ...

random and useless things...but hey it gives me alot to talk about.

My parents always told me ...

that I cannot be a writer, author, or journalist. So I didn't have the courage to try which saddens me. I want to be a strong enough person to be sufficient support for herself in attaining personal dreams.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a novelist or a journalist

My favorite memory ...

when I met my hubby

Why I write ...

it is how I find me

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Bible, text books, myster novels, christian rock, alternative rock, folk, t.v, movies, sci-fi: books, games, & movies

My first job ...

working for my dad

My best moment ...

hearing the first sound of my child's voice when she was taken from my womb

My inspiration ...

green leaves on trees in the fall blowing in the ever-cooling wind like they don't realize they should be brown and falling to the ground
