: About Me

I was born in Roswell, NM on an Air Force Base, the 2nd of 4 children. And though I love the south, my heart has stayed near our home base of Westborough, MA. Being a military brat meant changing location, schools, and friends often. Unfortunately that means no close ties; we learned how to make friends, but were never in one place long enough to learn how to keep them. Yes, that means I am a social misfit, but most of us are, aren't we?

My 5th grade teacher discovered my writing talent when we were stationed near Pottsboro, TX, and I have had a burning desire to write ever since.

Oh, how I loved Texas, it was a great place for youngsters to explore, but eventually we ended up back in Westborough. Now in my 50's with 4 children, 3 grandsons, and a dog, I am finally giving-in to that burning desire. Poetry is my first (writing) love, the 2nd being children's literature.

The Kaleidoscope K eeper of joy…just A simple toy. L ight shining through your glass barrier, E nvelops shards of colored glass, I  njecting brilliance with a freedom dance. D ancing light brings feelings bright, O pening hearts to pure delight. S ymmetrical forms race therein, C ircle around and a new dance begins. O ver again, like the changing water cycle, P owerful, yet beautiful beyond belief. E ternal author of color, granting stress relief.
