Growing up in Wisconsin, I expressed myself in a variety of ways. Music, dance and performing were passions growing up, but there was always a tug toward writing. I have always been adventurous and curious. Life has blessed me with a wealth of experiences, from travel to work, happiness to heartbreak. Learning is living, and after spending years doing everything from food service to professional acting, I retired. I continue to enjoy my adventures, but have rediscovered a new passion. Writing. The book that entered my imagination and percolated in my brain for over thirty years found its release, along with several others.

Whether I’m volunteering at church, feeding birds, or working with a Murder Mystery acting troupe, I always find time for a wide variety of activities. My latest adventure is throwing pottery. There is a book in there somewhere. My husband, Abbie our cat, and I call Texas home. I enjoy traveling, reading, cooking and a glass of wine.

I think as children, we dream and believe we can do and be anything. Over the years, we are taught limitations. I challenge everyone to rediscover their dreams, step out and reinvent themselves, and do things they only dreamed of doing. As Erin Hanson wrote:

There is freedom waiting for you, 

On the breezes of the sky, 

And you ask, “What if I fall?”

Oh, but my darling, 

“What if you fly?”

Life is too short to let others dictate what we do or where we go. Fly, my friends. Fly!
