Married and have 3 grown children; have been a nurse for over 40 years; have written poetry and articles since age 8. My goal was to write what was inside me and hope that others can relate and understand that they do not have to be famous to write what they feel inside. They can think in terms of the satisfaction received from accomplishing writing which can be a wonderful self-journey. I hope to provide my readers with a little time to laugh, a little time to reflect and discover that they too have events in their lives that are worthy of the written word.
