Life has been quite a road. It has allowed me to build upon misfortunes and triumphs. I have loved to write since I was a little girl. I love to read about anything. Music fuels me in so many ways...
I wrote poetry in my twenties and graduated to short stories in my early thirties. I took a break having to deal with life stuff (children, loss of work, addiction). I am back! I have tried my hand at a few fiction pieces but am finding that I love to write articles.
In my spare time I like to go hiking, running and blog.
I bought a motorcycle in 2006 and it has opened my eyes to safety on the road as well as a new found freedom. Last year my boyfriend and I rode up to Port Jervis, NY. I loved every moment.
I'm big on nature. Every day I go to Tyler State Park in Bucks County, PA to walk. I love the sights, sounds and smells.
Life just keeps getting better.
