I'm a poet in life's road. I'm a singer of songs to the wind, and a dancer to the spirit of nature. I'm a writer to my story. This is my life. So you want to know more about me? I suppose I could go back to when I was 12. But that's a long story. At 12 I began writing and from time to time in my life I've had to place it aside. I have been in my life a singer, dancer, musician, artist, writer, and a mom. But always there are the stories in my head waiting to be written.
What is life but the stories untold. So in my writing I've found a place to tell all, teach all, and let the reader learn the lesson to be told. Poetry to me has a story, a beginning, a body of life, and an end which comes to the conclusion of the experience. In my writing you'll find me there.
It is always good though to give a little background. Here is the reality of my life. At the age of 35 I developed near fatal ovarian cancer. I went to the hospital and they did take everything out in my surgery. For almost nine months I went though the agony of chemo therapy. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. But it saved me and I'll do it again if I had to. I lost my hair and went through massive doses of meds. I do hate them so. With the patience of my family and loving Husband who stayed next to my bedside the entire time. I pulled through fine. But I believe that mister death was waiting for me each night to take me. I've made a full recovery.
I'm 55 and life has been full, of everything. I'm married to the love of my life for 29 years now. I had two children. My daughter is married, and has two twin daughters. My son was lost to us in 1990 at the age of 15 due to a car accident. That sets us to where I started writing again. I had to find a place of peace to come to grips with our loss. I found in writing there was a truth and strength. Most of all is that in all that I've been through in life my words have finally come together. And I found the Best of the best in me, on paper. Story to be continued!
