I am the mother of a 20 year old son and a 17 year old daughter. I was born and raised in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse although I haven't worked in 15 years but I do stay up to date in case I need it in the future. I am also a Certified Medical Transcriptionist. Over the years I have held a variety of jobs from working in movie rentals, maintenance on a golf course, day care, waitress, residential and commercial cleaning, and of course nursing.

I come from a large close-knit family, which still gets together at my mom's after church on Sundays for dinner. I was raised on a farm so I have a love for animals and nature. I very much enjoy spending time outdoors and with my kids and writing. Writing has become much more than a hobby to me, it is a way to express myself and a way to clear my mind.

My passion is ...

my children and music

I know too much about ...

being lied to, being hurt, loss

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

to be a good mother, possibly write

My favorite memory ...

sitting on the front porch with my mom dad and granny

Why I write ...

to relieve stress and to help myself through certain situations

My first job ...

worked at a waitress at a family owned business in Virginia, Graves Mountain Lodge

My best moment ...

The day my kids were born.

My inspiration ...

my kids plain and simple

I remember the day we met

As if it were only yesterday

The feelings that overcame me

I remember getting butterflies

Every time I saw your name

All the talks we had

How completely I loved and trusted you

I remember the day you first said "I love you"

I finally felt complete

The piece of me that had always been missing

Was finally found and in place

I remember trying to find the words

To express how I felt for you

And trying to explain

A connection that was indescribable

I remember wanting to beg you

To never let me go

Terrified you would le...
