I am a 37 yr old writer from Rapid City, South Dakota. I am a mother of three wonderful children. I have been writing my entire life, mostly to ease the pain I feel on the inside sometimes. I write about everything from poetry to children's stories, to currently working on my biography. My greatest dream is to some day be a published writer, but as of now, I do the second most thing I love...work with children.

I grew up in an alcoholic and extremely abusive home as a child. It gives me great honor to have the opportunity to break the cycle of abuse that has been running ramped in my family for decades, and perhaps even centuries. I do so by teaching and sharing all the wonderful things I've learned along my journey with any ear willing to take the time to listen.

What I share in most of my writing is a reflection of past pain from childhood, but also I share with the reader how I have overcome such hardships. My goal is not only to write, it is to touch people's lives. It is to let them know they are not alone in this world.

HOLLOW be thy name

Give us this day

Born among dead

Burdening us with your debt

Making crucial mistakes

Leading us into temptation

Scarring inwardly so we cannot forget

Delivering us not from evil

Instead smothering us with it

Your glory to be our pain

Leaving our souls to rot

To bleed, to suffer, to die

HOLLOW be ...
