: About Me

I was Born in 1979. As a young girl i was always told that i had great potential with my creative nature.
Although at the age of 11 my life changed when i rode out in front of a car and was struck down. My head injury has caused me great pain in my life, both physically and mentally. i Became very withdrawn after my accident and gave up on my interests and my life around me.
It wasn't until the age of 20, in the midst of my marriage destruction that i returned to writing. At first it began as just a hide away on the Internet in chat rooms then i began to write poetry to aide in the healing process and pain that i felt from my husbands betrayal and abandonment.
Now at the age of 28 i write to express myself. I write so that my 2 year old son can see a whisper of my soul.

Why I write ...
