Writing is a passion used to express her independent thinking, and juxtaposed relationships. I also enjoy; art, music, dancing, cooking and old movies amongst other things. I am an avid collector of old items and recently had a Early American Pewter Coffee Pot I acquired written up in the Magazine; Antique Trader as a publication favorite.
I have several poems published in anthologies in America and abroad. I attended writing conferences and studied writing for many years. Her personal messages to you is to love life and enjoy life to the fullest for you never know when the circumstances will change forever losing the hope of realizing your dreams and expectations for the future.

• She plays a poetry puzzle game she invented and hopes to market some day, but I would like to share it with you because it is important to her and has helped her to remain assertive, confident and have a good attitude through tough times. It is a nine-word poem of encouragement, creativity and motivation. The use of repetition as reinforcement is central to the effectiveness of the ERG poem.(in chapter2) The term ERG means Work according to Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
