I have always had a passion for taking my own thoughts, beliefs, or experiences and putting them down on paper. Since public speaking will always remain a challenge in my life, I will always lean to the pen to channel my emotions and experiences in a way that I feel will portray a sense of my own style and truth.

I gather information through facts, quotes, and my own personal experience and opinions. I have no problem 'keeping it real' or 'telling it like it is', for although sometimes the truth may hurt, the truth, it is said, will also set us free!

My passion is ...

living and experiencing life through honesty and integrity.

I know too much about ...

dieting

My parents always told me ...

to follow the Golden Rule.

My childhood ambition ...

to learn about everything.

My favorite memory ...

being an innocent child with not a care in the world.

Why I write ...

to deflate all of the thoughts in my brain...

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

I am reading the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous; I enjoy watching the Discovery Channel; I listen wholeheartedly to meaningful conversations and music with meaning.

My first job ...

Corner grocery shoppe deli by my child hood home.

My best moment ...

giving birth to my children.

My inspiration ...
