A free spirited, kind hearted, creative soul that loves to tap into the wellspring of discovery, sharing, and growth. An avid reader, my childhood was spent with pencil sketching until my first creative writing class in high school. My English teacher meticulously critiqued every essay of mine, picking it to pieces while others escaped his notice. Future rejection slips, he explained, demanded that criticism wouldn't force failure, it was a tool for learning, and he had a duty to help the better become the best.

Writing is the breath of my spirit as life continues to unfold. Three home businesses later, and with children now grown, I once again return to the core of my heart and welcome the playful and invigorating wild life force to prance across the page as words burn their way beyond ideas, pouring from the inside.
