Este es mi familia.Artist, Writer, Poet, Mom, I am the woman I am, no matter what happens, no matter where I am or what I'm doing. I'm not defined by the man I'm with or the job I have today. Because tomorrow is a new day and change is coming. Embrace change or you face a fate worse than death for an artist, you become one of the uncreative masses. Be who you are! Be what you are! Be proud of yourself, other people envy you, because you are free!
I live alone in the star's twilight
high above the alien lands
and this woman I am
this child of Carolina Cherokee
of Welsh mining men...
high above the alien lands

The Party Years
Those were the days, my friend...
About Me
- Razzberry Jam
- My oldest son says I'm so crazy. Cool! Seriously, I've been a DJ, a rent-a-cop, catering assistant, project designer, written three books (published), working on my first novel, and now retired from my gov't job! I've returned to my art and writing career.
