: About Me

I seem to be at a point in life where any little distraction is an excuse not to write.  I'd dearly love to rectify that though.  I'm back at Helium, back to my old standby, "The Artist's Way", and back to doing the one thing that comes effortlessly to me: writing.  Why do we deny ourselves the very things that bring fulfillment?  Duh!

Other generic highlights about my personhood:  I supremely enjoy hanging out with my favorite person on Earth, my husband. We cook, talk, read, watch college football, herd children, write, dream, go on adventures, and discover new joys together. I am so incredibly blessed to love and be loved by him. 

Been inspired by something I've written? Want to offer advice or constructive criticism to guide me or just berate me for kicks? Would you care to employ me? Don't be shy, drop me a line: tiff77@uga.edu

See you around Helium.
