I write for Helium because it is an excellent way to keep in contact with the world of ideas, and of people and with God. Alone with my thoughts I would suppose that every one else thinks as I do, but not so. Seeing other viewpoints does not naturally make me change mine, but it does help me see the overall picture.

With the bigger picture I get by writing and reading at Helium I am more tuned in to possibilities for growth and better ways of give and take in the world of communication.

My writing topics are religion, health care, literature and poetry, education, history and much more. I am currently learning about business and how the economy works and I am excited about environmental issues. Gardening is also an important topic and over the years I've learned how to write creditably about it.

Yet, beyond my solitary world, I appreciate learning from the other writers and since May 2007 when I started writing again, thanks to Helium, I have learned much. Other viewpoints and observations I welcome. I often write health care articles for the general public.

I am an old school RN. Meaning that I was taught nursing long before the new technology changed directions for many of the procedures. It is quite interesting to compare then with now. What I really like to do is to interpret medical jargon into understandable words. That keeps me forever learning.

Without knowing how to communicate effectively with your business prospects, you are at a loss. In person you may be an outstanding conversationalist but your inability to put it into writing may be your downfall. Yet, as in all writing, there must first of all be a purpose. Once that is established, and with a little know how, the rest will fall into place. Your purpose, whether to gain employment, to put your two-cent worth of knowledge toward a workable plan at your firm, or whether to convince a supplier that you are paying too for his product, will depend on the words you use.
