: About Me

I have a love for poetry and for sharing what I feel from my experiences in life. I love feedback because it lets me know I've touched someone with my words.

My passion is ...

Writing, photography and family.

Dogs! So I have cats.

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

To make some sort of mark on the world.

My favorite memory ...

Walks with my father, when I was a child, through the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD.

Why I write ...

To connect with myself and others on a deeper level.

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

I've read everything on my bookshelf I may need to start over.

My first job ...

Haha! Roy Rogers!

My best moment ...

The day I became a mother.

My inspiration ...

My father, my children and the world around me.
