About me

Writing for Helium has been a rewarding experience. This site offers an almost endless list of titles and channels, which allow each author a choice of forum for his work.

As a sub channel steward in the Relationships & Family channel, I look forward to hearing from my fellow writers. Writing is a continuing learning experience, constantly pushing us to the limits, while allowing us to release all of those wonderful ideas and images that swirl around in our creative minds.

If there is no life after the ages of 40, 50 or 60, then someone better get busy digging my grave immediately. Of course there is life after the age of forty. If you are still breathing, life goes on. The quality of that life is up to each individual. Mid-lifers and senior citizens are some of the most innovative and happy people on this planet. We have lived long enough to know we are neither infallible nor invincible. This gives us an edge over the youthful populace. We have made mistakes, learned from them and are smart enough not to make the same missteps in the latter half of our lives...
