I sit here writing this post not knowing what is going to come from my fingertips. I also haven't come up with a title, but for some reason, I am being compelled to write this post. By the time I finish this, I hope to have one. I guess you could say it's the writer in me that longs to sit down and do nothing but to write. I have often wondered what it would be like to sit down and do nothing but write something, anything, that people would want to read. That other would be panting at the thought to be able to read something I have written and left them wanting more. In essence, that is what any writer wants.       I have as of late, sat down and opened my Kindle to read the many books I have loaded and started to read the fabulous works of fiction. There are many authors I follow, and I am not ashamed that some of the stories I know are living something different than I. That's the point right? The idea is to take the reader on a journey so that they get caught...

         I guess you could say I was raised old fashion. I suppose you would say that I was sheltered . When I was a teen, sex was still considered taboo, and you didn't discuss it with your mother or friends. Then again some girls were still considered fast when I grew up in the 80's. See I told you I was sheltered .      Put it this way. It wasn't necessarily biblical, but more of a self-respect and upholding the family name that kept you from doing things that could ruin your life not to mention could end it. It was the beginning of the Aids epidemic, and people were not as quick to jump into bed with someone. When it came to morals, I had them. I was scared into some of them, but I had them, not to mention I do grow up in a nondenominational church. It isn't that those things didn't happen. They did. I remember several of the girls I graduated with being pregnant with their first child and some with their second. Now I don't say...

Wherever you are today, or whatever you are doing I hope you are having a grand day. So far to day we (My parents and husband) attended the birthday party of a dear friend and family member. I know my father enjoyed getting to spend time with his friend and my husband's uncle. You could certainly see the impact he has had on others lives. It has been a good afternoon. The intent, if I am not so tired I can't, is to attend the first local high school football game of the year. My alma mater is playing their long time rival, and it is always a the first game of the season for the high school. In my years at the high school, we had student pep rallies and bonfires before a game. I'm sure they no longer do the bonfires. I enjoyed them so much. We had a local school paper called the Skeleton in which the wrote stories about the team and other details of the events. A group of cheerleaders made stickers and pins the students could buy to support the team for the up coming ...

    If there is one thing that my parents taught me is never to give up as it serves no purpose. For six years now, I have been writing as an independent author. For me and others, writing isn't considered as a hobby; it 's a lifelong dream to write, to be an author and to make it a career. I have been working since I was a teen starting out as a baby sitter and then became a caregiver. I was still in high school when I started taking care of the elderly in a local nursing home. From the time I was a little girl, I was a nurse, taking care of my dolls. I went to school my junior and senior year to a vocational school and received a certificate for a nursing assistant. When I graduated from high school, I applied to Vocational School to start LPN school. I had no such luck to get in the first round. After 12 years of school, I was kept out because of math and reading comprehension. I ended up going to adult education at night to be able to pass the entrance exam. Wh...
