Writing for me is the one thing that can calm all storms given time. It is a way to learn, listen, speak, share and heal. The subject is not as important as the time and the thought put into the work. Hopefully, it gets better with age.

I have taken on the title of Channel Steward at Helium and hope to be a positive influence in the writing community.

I have done many things over the years. Taught school, bank manager, working in a fast food place ,surveyed for the BLM and even worked in a call center. All things and places that make me who I am today.

I love to hear from others, so send me an email and teach me something today.

I asked an associate and friend of mine how he would introduce me. I am humbled and full of tears.

Trenna always has a story. I frequently find myself marveling at her ability to retain specific details and to tell the story in a sequential yet compelling organized manor. I get down or aggravated and Trenna always has a story to keep my mind occupied or a positive light for a situation.

Trenna is quick to laugh. She has an amused light on the banalities and details of life and its hardships. Whether or not we can find a good attitude about the trials we're thrown, we can always find a piece of the puzzle to make us smile. She and I share these moments.

Trenna is maternal no matter what she says. She is full of advice and ideas that no one else had because she's so unique, and a level of honestly we all wish we had with our parents. You can see that her first instinct is to take care of people and she takes every opportunity to find someone to care for.

Thankfully, Trenna is my friend.
