I have been writing since I was very young. I used to sit for hours on a fallen tree that rested over a stream in the nearby woods…daydreaming. The daydreams flowed from mind, to pen, to paper…and became my peace of mind, my escape to a more beautiful world, and my art. I was acknowledged in highschool for my gift and won several awards. I wrote for the school newspaper, town newspaper, and was editor of the yearbook. I unfortunately had to forfeit a 4 year scholarship in which I would major in journalism.

I have been writing since I was very young. I used to sit for hours on a fallen tree that rested over a stream in the nearby woods…daydreaming. The daydreams flowed from mind, to pen, to paper…and became my peace of mind, my escape to a more beautiful world, and my art. I was acknowledged in highschool for my gift and won several awards. I wrote for the school newspaper, town newspaper, and was editor of the yearbook. I unfortunately had to forfeit a 4 year scholarship in which I would major in journalism. A family tragedy changed my path, my dreams and my future. But writing “is” about the love of the art…and I do love to write. I have continued to write throughout the years and received an award from the International Society of Poets for a very personal poem I wrote to my mother. My poetry has appeared in several anthologies, but I’m still reaching for that next farthest star. Writing is a release and an expression of one’s heart and soul that cannot always be explained outside of the pen and paper. I hope I reach someone’s heart with my writing and warm a heart or two.
