: About Me

I love writing and if I don't do it on a regular basis I think I might explode. There are emotions better expressed on paper than in person.  There are thoughts that fit with writing that don't fit with the spoken word.  To write you release your self an gain freedom.   I am a mother, wife and director of operations for the food industry. I love training up a crew and putting best practices into place.  Allow people under me to grow and learn and it is a bitter sweet moment when they leave for a better opportunity because of their experience and what we have taught them.  I love what I do and the freedom of my job.

I belong to a family of writers and I am raising my daughter to love reading and writing and the world it opens up.  We are all readers, different times of the day we will be busy in different rooms reading.  I love that shared passion.  I love finding Helium and the opportunity to write and read articles.

Where has your innocence gone We whispered and touched And you hoped it was no mirage Mask and lies in place But you tried... Then it was all taken and shattered Words were said.... Leaving you undone The anger and hurt were strong There's nothing without belief All for my need to belong But you tried... Building bridges from the living Building to the helpless or the missing Some are taken some are given T...
