We’re all so decidedly exhausted of all this Covid. It’s important to look at the small and maybe even big high points when everything feels so very low! So, I felt it was a good time to give an update on my personal, professional, and creative milestones. First, from September to December, I was thrown… Continue reading Life Update

I need space!
So, I have this small problem. I have a small living space.

Being a writer, a professional teacher, and a hotel representative, and a mother… Continue reading I need space!
I ain’t no Audrey

It has trees and birds; a lot of brown. It is somewhat fitting as I don’t feel so spectacular with my writing either. At the… Continue reading The TW attacks: Day One

Inside me existed poems and short stories, even novellas. And as I battled many years with my own deep dark depressions these creative strengths aided me in a way that… Continue reading Creative Strengths
In Which I Start Anew
This last week I got to try my hand teaching English to 10th graders. Not the whole class; more like the last 25 minutes or so as the lead teacher had to leave. The students are working on adverbs. UGH! I may be wrong in my assumption but I believe that most of the world… Continue reading In Which I Start Anew
