I have been writing poetry, since I was in grade school. I started keeping all of my writings in journals. In 2010 I decided to open up my journals and create a book. I also enjoy positive affirmations. Being kind is important to me. I always want to treat others how I want to be treated. Please be encouraged and uplifted by my writings. I also love to garden in my spare time. I have a supportive husband and three adult children. I have 3 grandchildren.
