My motto: Your goal is right in front of you...reach for it.

My life: I reach, I accomplish, I move on to the next challenge. Anything worthwhile that has proved to be beyond my grasp has never been abandoned, just held in abeyance while I increase my knowledge, hone my skills, then return with a longer reach and a firmer grasp.

Why I write ...

for fun and enjoyment.

My inspiration ...

Jesus always has, and always will be.
