: About Me

I am a grandparent raising a second set of children who I will call grand, because they are just that. Teaching is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, although I practiced law for 10 years. This is when I realized I had a flare for writing. The requirements in the legal arena for precise arguments, correct grammar, and persuasive articulation are the key ingredients of my training that help to fashion my ability to write and desire to write.

I homeschool the two grands who live with me. I have a tremendous respect for learning and the written word. My writings are influenced by my life's journey and my spiritual outlook.
