: About Me

Soooooo.....all about me. Well I am an avid writer and reader of just about anything since, hmm well as long as I can remember. Life has been tough and busy and too fast for my liking but writing has always kept me grounded and being able to escape in a good book is also very therapeutic. Really though what would life be without the turmoil, quite boring I suppose. All of the experiences, ups and downs, pains and joys I have been through in these very long but oddly short 30 years has given me alot to contemplate and an imagination that is constantly bubbling, and I mean constantly.
I am a single mother of a beautiful little girl, she is my light, my joy and a huge source of inspiration to achieve,achieve,achieve. I am passionate about life and and try to enjoy each day to the fullest, as I sadly now understand how quickly life can be snuffed out.
I have a chihuahua and a siamese cat, and love animals of all sorts. The outdoors is where I feel at home, I love nature and hiking, the beach and long walks. Easy going, laid back, and pretty easy to please are words I've heard used to describe me. I am in hopes of polishing and perfecting my writing and hopefully getting published some day down the road, I figure I've reached a time in my life that I need to focus on my goals and dreams and make them come true. One of my favorite quotes, "Have you built your castles in the air? Good. That is where they should be built. Now, go to work building foundations under them." Henry David Thoreau
