About me

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 used to think that 48 was the end, but I am just beginning and cannot wait to turn 50.

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.

Change is unavoidable. It is all around you, everywhere you look and in everything you do. Even if you don't like change, we all experience it everyday. That new outfit, the vacation you planned and the new flowers you bought for the front garden are all things that you didn't have the day before. They are different, therefore they are a change.

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...
