Everyone has a story to tell; in my case, I have several stories to share since I've been married four times. Each life experience is important, so share it with others. I hope my experiences will help others as they come across similar incidents in life.
I am a retired teacher, a volunteer, a mother, a wife, and a spiritual soul. I write to inform or to inspire. I also like to entertain people with my writings.
I have written articles for the college where I worked for 15 years, and for the adult education division.I love writing on helium.com, too.
I designed and wrote 5 teaching workbooks:

Ecology: The Living World by Stark/Hill
Kendall/Hunt
English All Around Us by Ann D. Hill
Volumes 1-4
(Freshman, Sophomore, Jr., and SR. English)

We Call Him Puddles by Ann
