: About Me

Hi, I am a mature individual with 50 something years under my belt, a mom, a grandma and in general a councellor for the whole family. Obtained my academic qualifications in my later years and been a nurse for eternity. I just love to write, I love poetry of any kind and often become inspired by the most simple events. I want to use my creativity to inspire others, I want to express myself to the world, I beleive that God has given me a gift that I need to utilise and want to become an accomplished writer.

I welcome critique with open arms, this will be my tool to benchmark my development and sucess.
