A personal note...

There comes a time when you find your distinct place creatively as an artist and that is what writers are in essence. We grow. We change. We mature. Cliche as it sounds, living in this world is a journey to experience, to explore and learn as we go. We share what we've gleaned from our experiences.

As a photographer I have a photo lens to view tiny excerpts of life and capture them for the joy of it to share with others. This is a new addition to the journey. Only a faithful and loving God can plan and give talents and gifts that are such a joy to pursue. I hope He is pleased with what I do with all He has given.
