: About Me

There is something new everyday that I find beautiful, and aside from the normal ups and downs in life, I find it makes it easier on myself in the long-run to see the good, rather than the ugly.

The stunning is my craft, and by day, though I work a slow telecommunications and teaching job, I'm always thinking.

I'm always seeking an original story, but sometimes I settle for the gloriously mundane. I only worry about the big things in life, but I find time to really see the importance of the small things that I would have otherwise missed.

My passion is ...

writing, learning, love, and travel.

I know too much about ...

grammar.

My parents always told me ...

to push through hard times life has sent my way.

My childhood ambition ...

was to become an actress or a doctor, or both somehow.

My favorite memory ...

is of being a child, when there were no bills to pay.

Why I write ...

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

Mists of Avalon/WhaleRider/Seal though not at the same time

My first job ...

was as a car-hop on roller skates

My best moment ...

when I got engaged to the love of my life.

My inspiration ...

the world- as cliche as it sounds.
