I am married with step-children and a member of the Secular Order of Carmelites. I am currently retired and have a wide variety of interests I have been journaling for 30+ years, I have done some blogging but not been faithful to it. I have written some short stories, flash fiction, a little poetry, and a few book reviews but not published. I intend to write my faith journey at some point and I am mostly interested in spiritual writing at the moment. I've taken some writing courses but mostly I write because it's IN me. I have to do it.
