: About Me

After being hit by lightning in August, 2006 I was gifted with the unique opportunity to reinvent myself. I have always been a writer but never considered it as a vocation.

I was lucky enough to take an online Magazine Writing class with Linda Formichelli - The Renegade Writer, have been authoring my blog "a BLINDING heart" (www.ablindingheart.com), and am finally becoming the dynamic and vibrant writer I have always dreamt of being.

With life experiences that can't be taught in a classroom and a keen wit and love of learning, I can now write with some authority on growing up in the 60's, failing in the 70's, picking myself up in the 80's, finding my way in the 90's, and starting over all over again. (What century is it?)

blessings,
