I enjoy writing. It is something I relish. It is a privilege to have a site available to share things that are on my heart and mind. I hope the reader gets as much enjoyment in reading my work as I do in writing.
Background
Information
I grew up on Long Island New York. I was involved in the 60's and 70's movements during that time of turbulence in the US. I used to write for the high school and town paper. I married someone that had gone to Vietnam. We tried the New Age Movement and a commune in New England, after I attended college, to see if it was the direction in life we wanted. We found out it wasn't, and have been through a number of changes since then - trial and error involvements. I feel very satisfied now, and love to share. The experiences and outcome of what I went through caused me to write a great deal. I used to write to the Brattleboro, Reformer, newspaper when I lived in Vermont. Friends and family and teachers say I should write a book. Actually, I am in the midst of writing a number of books. I enjoy, also the writing of teen novels and children's books, and yet, never went to publishing any of them, just using them to help out teens in trouble, or to make children happy. I like to write on issues, stories that help prevent teen suicides, encouragements for women, and love to write about my puppet, Dan, for a little fun. I have a moral compass that has guided me through the challenges we all face. There have to be answers in this world, and I love to find them. This will help to get my stories and thoughts out to the public.
