: About Me

I am a divorced mother of 2 and PROUD grandmother of 6 living in northwest rural Tennessee. I have been an engineer for more than 25 years.

One of my MANY childhood ambitions was to write short stories and poetry. Although never formally pursued, it has remained close to my heart.

On the few occasions that I have composed poetry, short stories or 'letters to the editor', it was mostly inspired by life experience, conviction and personal relationships. My inspiration is fueled by my personal relationship with God. Now that I have discovered the Helium website, I am excited to give it a try in hopes it can fulfill my need to 'tell my story' creatively.

It hurts to free My selfish pride, And look upon This wretch inside. Please open, Lord, My deepest part. Remove the anger From my heart. Bend me til' I'm sure to fold. Take unforgiving thoughts untold. To ever know Your truth revealed. I must replace This shame and guilt, What else to know, What more to learn, From spinning...
