I'm a teacher and a writer, finding lessons in everyday life. I'm the kind of person who follows her gut.  The older I get, the more I believe the biggest mistake we can make is not listening to our intuition.  My life is not always traditional, but it is always authentic. 

     I've had a good many challenges in my life. Some came from bad choices (two failed marriages) and some were just bad luck. Through all my tough times, I knew it wasn't enough to just get through the experience. Somehow I knew the most important thing was to not let the hard times harden my heart. I have no idea if it was God's grace, or my upbringing or genetics, but somehow I always found a deep strength that not only got me through the hard times, but truly helped me come out better and stronger.

     Writing makes me happy.  Sharing my stories with other people fulfills me in a powerful way. Other than teaching school and raising two children, I think writing is my purpose in life.  I love to do book signings and have starting speaking to small groups.          Enjoy my stories. Reach out if I can be helpful.
