: About Me

Born your typical Leo in 1978, I've always had an insatiable appetite for creativity and expression. I think it's only fair that if I've imagined or discovered it, I HAVE to share it. From poetry and short stories to freelancing and blogging, I'm inspired by many things.

Over the years, I've performed Market Research and Property Management Evaluations.  Anything to get my opinion on paper. I also recently created and maintain a website for a Lawn Dying Business that I Co-own with my husband.

I have been published in Poetry anthologies and with Helium, I have sold articles to Women's Health and Auto magazines, as well as Stock Content.

My Zone,  "http://www.helium.com/zone/1409-ecclectic-inspirations-by-elaina," highlights some of my poetry and a slideshow of jewelry that I've made and sold over the years.

Update 2011:

Contributor.  There, you will see some of the articles originally written for Helium, as well as many new articles to come. The link to my profile and content can be found on the right side of this page. Stop in sometime...
