: About Me

I started writing at the age of 17 and put it on hold until reaching the age of 50. Those who read my work always enjoyed it and would ask why I didn't pursue writing full time. Writing for me is an avenue for releasing and reliving the many experience I have had in my life. Finding Helium was wonderful. I love the many different topics to contribute to. I have always wanted to be a serious writer and share my work. Helium is the vehicle allowing me to do so. I have a wide range of interests and put forth effort in continued learning.

I love to travel. I have been a US military dependent child and then the wife of a gentleman in the Air Force. Married for 22 years raised 3 children, I also had the opportunity to be an entrepreneur hair stylist. Finding myself divorced help me reflect on life resulting in my being happily remarried to a younger, kinder trophy husband. I am the proud grandmother of a little boy and a little girl. Over the years I have gleaned customer service managerial experience encompassing 30+ years in the retail, service, and airline industry.

But how do you leave your job gracefully especially when the adjectives hatred and loathing commonly enter your mind.  First, remember the sage words “Don’t burn your bridges”! Why? Because you are going to need your current job for a reference for the next 10 years to include in your job history. Thoughts of installing a file-erasing virus into the system should stay just that: a passing thought. Same for telling the Director of your ...
