I am a 36 year old step mother of 4 children ages 10-17.
I am remarried to my soul mate. We have been married for two years and together for 5 years.

I enjoy writing as it a wonderful form of expression for me.
I don't know what I would do without writing as an outlet.
Writing about love, romance and relationships is extremely easy for me. I guess that has to do with the fact that dating almost seemed to be a "hobby" for me in my teen years until my 20's. With the view of becoming a traditional housewife and living the American dream, which in college, they tell us is a married couple, a dog and 2.5 children. I've never been able to understand how you can have .5 of a child. At 24 I got married and at 27 I got divorced. I am truly blessed to have my "knight and shining armor" in my life.

We live in a home that was built in the early 1900's and has all of character of that error including beautiful woodwork.
We also have started a recycling and reclamation business, "Vaassen Reclamation" and we refinish wooden items, restore other items and recycle and in respect making the earth a greener place to live.

I love life, beauty and watching things grow, this to me means new life. I am dog lover and have two grown dogs and two puppies. An avid Avon Representative and a college student, I am kept very busy. I always have time for writing! It is one of my dearest passions.

Enjoy Helium. It is a wonderful place to write. Writing is a beautiful way to express yourself. Don't ever stop writing!

Sincerely,
Kris Vaassen

An Eagle of Peace and Freedom

A symbol of complete freedom...
beauty and peace.
An eagle sores above us
to remind us of our freedom
in this country that we call ours.

Graceful, but not boastful
they share beauty with all
who see them.
Rare anymore these days
to see such beauty
fly above us.

Eagles are here
to remind us
that we can do anything
if we really try.
Watch them fly above you.
A true symbol of beauty and peace,
the things our world should be focused on
instead of fighting a senseless war.

Soaring high in the sky,
the eagle seems as though
he hasn'...
