Blond-haired Ethan is busy at three
He’s sweet, then bossy, then teary
He has a mind of his own and wants to be free
Blond-haired Ethan is busy at three
He runs like a deer, then scrapes his knee
He goes from happy to mad to weary
Blond-haired Ethan is busy at three
He’s sweet, then bossy, then teary

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.
