Do what needs to be done

Big and small
Easy and hard
Tackling tasks in 
Whatever time they take

Understanding 
Life has a rhythm and a pace
An ebb and a flow like
Waves lapping the shore

My job is to
Stay focused and  
Do what needs to be done
A little every day

No race, no rush
No medal to win
Just choose a task and 
Do what needs to be done 

 

I am a native Texan who has lived for the past 30 years in Southern California. I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a two-time 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 four darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 44 years.
