: About Me

Welcome to the written works of Dustee Mourning. I hope you enjoy my range of content. I've been a creative writer since birth, so I'm guessing I brought this over from a previous life. I'm a technical writer and editor by trade. I started in manufacturing, moved on to Research & Development, and have finally landed into the IT field. I have no favorites, since technical writing is technical writing. But I do love to be surrounded by technology so IT has been the best fit, thus far.

I'm also into animal rescue. I'm not affiliated with organizations such as PETA, but rather spend my time working with no-kill shelters who house, rehabilitate and find the perfect forever homes for four-legged babies. I am the mother and care taker of two special-needs dog babies. They are wonderful critters (and, yes, I am a bit biased, but most folks think they are wonderful, too)!

I've just found this site. I hope to be adding flavorful topics for your enjoyment. Thanks for reading and happy writing!

One of the worst few memories I have about falling in front of someone are actually about falling in public... in front of several people in our local mall. Since I was rather young, and do not wish reveal my age with an actual year, many women will relate to this particular time. The shoes were so adorable; they first retailed in the basic colors of black, white, blue and the occasional red. The shoes were versatile enough to wear with anything in a woman's closet, no matter the season. These were the perfect shoes and many pairs were sold. They were cute, fashionable and were the greates...
