: About Me

I used to think that by this point in my life, I would have everything figured out, but things have not worked out that way. Instead, I find that every answer just leads to bigger questions, leaving me always eager to know more.

My passion for words keeps me reading avidly. Writing helps me process my thoughts, so I spend as much time as possible doing that.  My work has been published on various websites, but I am certainly not planning to quit my day job. I have been a special education teacher for more than 30 years. My students teach me quite a bit, and I teach them functional lifeskills.

A pragmatic person, I believe in finding practical solutions for problems, communicating honestly, and wearing comfortable shoes. I do some of my best thinking while walking my dog.

My passion is ...

words

I know too much about ...

too many little things

My best moment ...

is yet to come
