: About Me

I am an ordained minister with much experience in a palliative/hospital setting, much of which has been (sadly) in a personal capacity.

I have worked at a variety of newspapers from the time I was 16 years of age. I love freelance work, and have recently submitted two stories to Chicken Soup for the Soul. I have sold some small pieces to magazines, and particularly have enjoyed sharing some of my creative tips and tricks for mothering happily on a restricted budget.

I also trained to become a wholistic nutritional consultant: hence, my interest in writing about health, foods, and fitness.

My passion is ...

Writing/social activism

I know too much about ...

Corruption and human nature

My parents always told me ...

It's good to think for yourself!

My childhood ambition ...

To defend others from bullies

My favorite memory ...

Being able to remember that chemo has left me forgetful

Why I write ...

Because it releases the secrets of my heart (with a certain amount of anonymity).

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

Law books & Criminal Code/fluctuations in society/Debussy

My first job ...

Unpaid (age 14): telling an abused senior to "tell the police"; Paid (age 16): typesetting at a newspaper

My best moment ...

When I began an intimate relationship with the Lord

My inspiration ...

All unique, authentic, courageous, ethical people...
