I have been writing since I was a teenager, but didn't take myself serious until college. My life battles: Depression, drug abuse, suicide attempts, have afforded me a look at life that fortunately few people get a chance to witness for themselves. My soul therefore cries out in my poetry -- writing the experiences of my heart, mind and soul. 2 books are ready for publishing -- one being a poetic biography. I am in the process of researching for a publisher. |

Reading, writing, teaching bible study. I enjoy working with teens doing volunteer work: Teen drug intervention; creative writing; teen talk groups, etc. |

Kahlil Gibran; Countee Cullen |
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. -Kahlil Gibran |
Music is an expression of the soul, therefore I love all kinds of music. |
