: About Me

You found me. A retired mother of three married children, sanity re-entered my life at long last. People think I'm in my thirties and I never tell them I'm fifty.

I choose to grow and continue with my writing career.

My writings are concentrated around relationships. On Helium, my articles vary. I write for titles that fill me with passion - leaving me with no choice other than spread my thoughts around.
