Author bio

I love life and living each day to its fullest.
There is nothing more important to me than my family! I'm a great half to an even better half! The daughter of a loving mother. A mother of strong independent adult children and a grandmother of ambitious children! A one of a kind survivor, I have the strength to conquer all! Traveling with dreams of seeing every corner of the world is at the top of my bucket list! While you might find me out for a walk capturing beautiful images and enjoying the fresh air. Sometimes spending the night under the stars. Once in a while in a tent. My artistic personality can be found writing my latest story, crocheting something beautiful and cozy, cooking a gourmet meal, putting together fun crafts and projects for kids, planting everything from fruits and vegetables to flowers and trees, playing in the rain, letting my inner child explode, or just solemnly soaking up the sunshine!
