About Me:

Motto: Do as you purpose..

Location: Minneapolis, MN

About Me: Here are some tidbits.

1st & formost,a Christian
Happily married
Mom to a teen
Menopausal and closing in on 50
A corporate refugee, looking to earn a living from home
A distance swimmer, thrilled to be up to 7/8th of a mile!
A good cook, especially fresh breads and stews
"Zookeeper" to my daughter's motley assortment of animals.

For as long as I can remember I've believed I have a solid talent for writing. I believe it's a gift from God, and one that I've never fully utilized.

As I embrace this 2nd half of my life, it is my hope and prayer that Father will allow me to use that talent as a means of support, independence and and exploration.
