I am sitting in my living room
Writing with pen and paper
Seeing how this slower process
Taps into my brain
I have nothing of note to say
Just listening to the tick-tock
of the Grandfather clock
And the whirl of traffic outside
I am happy to be sitting here
Warm, fed, and healthy
I thank God
For these many blessings
Open my heart, dear Lord
To Your Word and Will
Please guide me
Where You’d have me go

I am a native Texan who has lived for the past 27 years in Los Angeles. I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of three darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 41 years.
