: About Me

I'm just a girl who loves to write, about nouns mostly: the people, places and things I encounter on a daily basis. I find humor in just about everything, and I love relating my day-to-day experiences through writing.  Another huge passion of mine is writing about life, love, relationship, astrology and thr mind/body/soul connection.

Although I'm still a Legal Secretary by day, my nights and weekends are filled with writing, taking writing courses, and gearing my life towards writing full-time.  Some of the most recent writing  jobs I've been lucky enough to land are:

Article Writer for Outlook Amusements/CaliforniaPsychics.com  I get to write about all my favorite subjects and work with a fantastic group of people.  This is my dream job.  I could use a few more dream jobs to actually make my writer's life dream come true.

I like to continually learn new things about writing and my abilities and just about anything.  I just completed AWAI Copywriting Course online, and I continue to sign up for writing courses both online and at local colleges. 

I'm also the Central Jersey Astrology Examiner on Examiner.com.  This is as fun column for me, as I get to inject a little of my humorous side while informing readers of the latest astrological transits.

It's nice to see that in my short absence from Helium, while writing for pay jobs, that I've become a Helium Charter Member.  Another badge for the jacket is always nice.  Helium helped me sell my very first articles, which inspired me to keep writing and move in a forward direction.  For that Helium will always be "home base."   I love the way we get to rate each other's work too.  It's an honest and informational system.

While driving to work today at 8:45 AM, I found myself behind a school bus. As if not being able to see the road ahead of me wasn't annoying enough, the bus was making frequent stops picking up school kids along the way. It dawned on me that when I was a kid, I used to get up at the crack of dawn for school. By 7:00 AM I was standing on the bus stop freezing my Danskins off! Why were these kids going to school so late? By work standards, I was late; by school standards, these kids were going in the wrong direction. I just told my boss that I was late because I had to make sure the kids got...
