Thank you for peering into a window in my world. I hope you stop by often.
A little info about me: 34-year-old female, not looking for long beaches on the walk–as I am married to my soul mate fifteen years this May. Ten years later we were granted stewardship to our five-year old, Natalia. Her birth changed our worlds dramatically.
I am a Native Texan with Yankee heritage. I am a Heinz 57 as my cultural heritage–English, Irish, Scottish, Swiss, German, and a Smidgen of French.
I grew up in New Braunfels, Texas. Went to school in San Marcos, lived in Austin for about ten years and now reside in Leander, Texas. I am slowly making my way up I-35.
My husband and I work at the same government agency. We commute together daily; sit in close proximity; share a 70 mile round trip daily; and we haven’t killed each other. Amazing.
He drives while I read and write. That is where I fit in the majority of my writing.
I am a writer. Published in a few college articles and yearbook articles. Won a few contests in high school. And now at thirty-four years of age I am working on a collection of poetry and memoirs. I have kept a journal since the age of nine; have volumes of history to draw from; and a goal to publish by 43. I have the realistic expectation it will take about ten years to publish to the mass market–even if it’s just a book in print with 100 in circulation through a small independent press; I won’t stop there though.
I plan to join some local writer’s groups, submit to poetry and short-story writing contest, and of course keep up this blog in order to ease myself into a mass audience.
My goal is not financial, it is to touch someone, if just one person through my Creative Source driven words. I rely on the Creative source, some earthly and spiritual muses, friends, and family as my Inspiration.
I call myself a writer because I write daily. And that is the only way I will fulfill my goals to lending my message to the world.
Thank you for stopping by and visit again. Don’t be a stranger. Namaste
