: About Me

My passion is ...

writing and helping others through what I write

I know too much about ...

Nothing! Every day is my opportunity to expand on what I have learned or to learn something new. No one knows too much about anything!

My parents always told me ...

Hold your head high and walk proud!

My childhood ambition ...

I only wanted to play and play with boys. I thought boys had more fun playing than girls. I enjoyed football, basketball, baseball. I did not enjoy playing with dolls.

My favorite memory ...

Is of my parents. My father passed in 1978 and I will always remember the last night I saw him alive: Laughing! My mother passed on September 2, 2007. I will always remember her. She was my life, my sweetheart, my love. I will miss her.

Why I write ...

Because I love to create. And to me, writing is creating! I have only in my late forties come to realize that I have a passion to write.

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

I am reading Helium articles/watching American Justice/listening to the television

My first job ...

Cleaning the Pen Theatre. As a child, my mother held three jobs. One was to clean the Pen Theatre and we, her children, helped.

My best moment ...

My best moment was each time I brought one of my three sons into the world. My sons are my life.

My inspiration ...

God is my Inspiration after him my sons inspire me!
