Hello there, and thank you for stopping by. I am a lot of things, but I consider myself a Writer first. I wasn't always a wife - even though I've been married to my wonderful husband for the last 23 years. I wasn't always a mother - although my two children bring me constant joy. But the Writer in me has always been awake and raring to go for as long as I can remember.

I have written and sold well over two hundred articles on various subjects, working mostly as a ghostwriter. I also have a few sites that I write to strictly for my own pleasure. I am familiar with SEO, keywords, and keeping with deadlines. Currently I am working on an e-book and I hope to have that published before too long. I also, like most of you out there, am working on a novel. I thoroughly enjoy every minute of the creative process.

I have been at Helium since November of 2006, and I have met a lot of wonderful, caring people. Helium has helped me fine-tune and focus my writing skills. I know that I have a long way to go, and there is so much left to learn; but I've never been one to quit and walk away from my dreams.

"I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."
William Butler Yeats

Trends and living rooms have always been synonymous. Think of all the living rooms you've seen over the years; whether that living room belonged to you or someone else, you can see how trends have come into play. We have seen sofas go from being encased in plastic slipcovers in early years, to becoming more colorful. The browns, greens, and oranges of the 70's were in everyone's living rooms at one time, along with shag carpet.

But before you knew it, living rooms were changing once again. The 80's, 90's, and beyond have seen a decrease in crinkly slipcovers, over-the-top harvest colors...
