I started writing poetry as therapy for my soul while i was caring for my mother, who had alzheimers. After she died the poetry stayed with me. It gave me an outlet for the tregedies I experienced with the death of my whole family. Now it has grown into its own entity, it controls when i will write and what i will write, but i love every minute of it. My style is my own and the material i come up with are traces of my growing up as a military brat traveling all over the us and europe, and the joys I now have in my life with the man I have always loved.
