My Greatest inspirations have come from the People I encounter in my day-to day life.  I believe that everyone has an amazing story to tell, and I have always taken the time to stop and listen.  Some of these people have become very close friends while others have been catalysts who are sent to me through GOD to  inspire and then move onward on their own individual paths.  All of these people hold a special place in my heart, and I am very grateful for each and everyone of them. I have been writing poetry since I was 8 years old.  I have hundreds of poems that I would like to finally share with the world.  I have had a Dream and a Passion to be an accreditted Published Author,  However I have never pursued this or taken any steps forward...until Now.  I have come to the realization  that Life is to short to not take risks and Live out your Dreams.  I have finally started to listen to my inner voice, and I am following the advice that she is giving to me. I hope that you enjoy my words.  Your comments are Welcome.
