I am 48 years old and have discovered my passion for writing. I love to sit down and focus my thoughts into a story, or opinion. I enjoy revealing a little about myself each time I write.
I have been a stay-at-home mom for 17 1/2 years. I am at present going through a separation, pending divorce. My daughter and I are getting ready to embark on a cross-country trip from North Carolina to California (my home) and I think its going to be the ride of my life.
I have been writing quite a bit about the complexity of relationships and marriage. Obviously those are two things I know a lot about and I feel I have something to contribute.
I am in the next phase of my life, and am very excited about the journey I am about to take.

I have two great kids, a son who is 17 and a daughter who is 15.
My daughter and I also have a blog, tangyteen.com that we started last summer.

You are never too old, or too tired to keep going. In my view of the world, change should be looked at as a positive. My glass is always half full because that's what keeps me going.
It is not for the weak at heart or the easily stressed. I...
