Thanks for dropping in. Even though I’m a hermit by nature, I do enjoy a chance for a one-on-one encounter.
A writer and educator, I hold an M.A. in French and Spanish and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. I love words.
You can see a list of my recent publications on the Publications page.
Writing for me is about experiencing and exploring the mystery of being alive. Helping other writers find the substance in their writing is a gift I’ve been blessed with. Everyone has a unique voice that has a place in the world.
Did you ever notice cats don’t hesitate to give voice? That’s one reason I’m a cat devotee.

Loved this. I am also a “hermit by nature.” In fact my neighbor always says, “Her husband and I are the two most unsociable people she has ever met.” 🙂 Being such though, I have such a contemplating spirit. If that is good or bad I do not know? I love the peace it does bring into my life. I am also an animal lover, but mine are dogs. Love the kitties! I know where you are coming from. Enjoyed reading your blog. God Bless, SR
