: About Me

Well, I'm a 20 year old mom-to-be, looking to further my writing talent and maybe earn some extra cash while I'm at it. I've always enjoyed writing, and hopefully this will only make me better at it.

The picture is of my husband's and my wedding kiss, just to clarify that in case it wasn't clear to you. :p

My passion is ...

midwifery. Childbirth is fascinating, and I hope to be a midwife before too long.

I know too much about ...

everything. No, just kidding, I don't think it's possible to know too much about something... do you?

My parents always told me ...

"If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes." I take this and apply it to my daily life.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be the Flight Crew director for NASA. I wanted to boss astronauts around.

My favorite memory ...

is a kiss that I got at sunset a few years ago. I must credit my husband with his good timing.

Why I write ...

I write because it's a great creative outlet, and I don't have to worry about getting the color wrong or smudging the pencil like I do when I parttake in more solid forms of creativity.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, and realizing that my husband was right all along... that it's a darn good book.

My first job ...

I worked as a dishwasher for my first job. It stunk, but it bought my first car.

My best moment ...

My best moment was realizing what becoming a mother means to me. I'm not just touching the life of my child, but all the lives that she will touch as well. It's a powerful thing to know that I have the ability to make the world a better place just by being a good mother.

My inspiration ...

My father was my greatest inspiration for writing. My husband my greatest inspiration for being a better person. Terry Goodkind is my inspiration for overcoming challenges, and my unborn daughter is my inspiration to always be improving.

2 of 8

Plantar warts are uncomfortable and, unfortunately, rather contagious. These small growths appear on the soles of the feet, and are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV virus is responsible for many kinds of warts, but in this case, it causes a wart that looks like a thick callous on the bottom of the foot. Plantar warts are generally very tender to the touch, often causing pain during upright activities such as walking, and they may have a dark center, called a "seed". It's an old wives tale that there actually is a seed in the wart, however. Plantar warts spread through cont...
