I started writing at 13 as a way of letting my feelings out. I think it some ways it was an escape for me when things were bad, but mostly it was where I could let my feelings out and not worry about anything.

I am working on a book which I hope to finish before my 75th birthday which is a very long way away but sometimes life schedules just get in the way with the amount of time that I would like to spend on writing.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

For centuries, only certain sports were open to women and most of them had restrictions. The Olympics was strictly off limits. Monumental strides were made over eleven hundred years to change that.

In 776 B.C., No girls were allowed at the first Olympics held in Ancient Greece, but the Games of Hera', featuring foot races for women, were held every four years
