I have been writing, drawing, painting and creating my entire life, which has been a fairly - cough - long time. I have enjoyed a long career as an Official Court Reporter in both Federal Court (in CT) and Circuit Court (in FL) which has served me well, presenting a wealth of human experience and constant exposure to self-expression in the form of courtroom presentation and the editing of official transcripts. Early in this recent pandemic when we were confined to home, I used that time to write, draw, write, draw . . . and enjoy the time of my life. I have put special emphasis on the development of children in terms of mindfulness and mental health and injecting tons of love and spirit into everything I try to do. And so the beat goes on.
