I have been writing most of my life; I feel compelled to write. Most of my writing comes from actual events in my life. I have a poem which has been published by the International Library of Poetry. I believe writing is a beautiful way to share ones own innermost feelings. I tend to be an optimistic person. I believe writing is a language of the heart and is a beautiful way to share one's innermost feelings. I tend to be chatty so people are attracted to me. I am a friendly soul. I am married to a wonderful man . We have three children and foster girls. There are times I feel like I was born with a pencil in my hand since I am rather comfortable with words and stories. I wrote my first story at six years old and shared it at dinnertime. It was about a pencil and my writing just took off from there. I starting writing in a journal as a teenager. I started life as a military brat. My Dad joined the Air Force when I was six months old. So the world has been my playground/ home. This is where I learned to treat people with respect and I learned to accept myself. I come from a Christian family which means I have always been in Church. When I was 17 I had a personal encounter with Christ. Since then I have been on a journey to learn more about Him and myself. I enjoy writing, reading, blogging, photography, scrapbooking, social networking, walking. I have never met a library or used bookstore that I didn't like. I moved from Paducah, KY. To Delta Junction, AK. I live with my husband, Robert and our two sons, Oliver and Alex. My sons both play on their high school football team as well as track and wrestling. We are building a cordwood house, but thats another story. I am currently in the process of writing my second book, which chronicles our adventures. Meanwhile we are enjoying life in Alaska the last frontier.
