As a writer I don't seek to educate, which is perhaps unusual. Rather I make attempts to connect my readers to myself, and hopefully, in the process, to themselves.
As a child I was a voracious reader. Opening the pages of a book was akin to climbing atop a magical carpet that could whisk me away from the painful existence of my life and transport me to a place without fear. Reading showed me how easily a mind can become immersed in the words of another, how powerful the force of someone else's thoughts really are. I learned that my experiences were not wordless balls of misery, but that they could indeed be written, if not spoken.
The affects of that knowledge are too far reaching to encompass in this blog, but I can say that it is that lesson that began to break the chains of silence, and that over the years, my words have continued to serve as a method for telling all of those things I can't speak.
It is my hope that in my words you find your own voice, whether spoken or written. I also hope that perhaps you will find a source of motivation and strength to continue in whatever trials you are facing in your own life.
I invite you to visit this page often, leave comments, questions, feedback (something you like? something you don't like?) or anything else that it is your heart. If you feel a personal email is more appropriate, you will find my email address in my profile. Please do not hesitate to use it.

I've been writing for many years, and for most of them I've not shared my work, my thoughts, or my life in the public realm. My change of heart has come from the realization that I was given a gift and that not sharing that gift defeats the reason it was given to me. I've been inspired and loved by many people who have encouraged me over the years and it is to them that I owe my gratitude and recent success in professional writing. To all of them I say, thank you.
