For me, inspiration is a spiritual experience that happens unexpectedly. I simply go about my day while thinking about what I’m doing, what I’ve done, what needs to be done, what I would like to do, what I will do, and suddenly an idea comes to me that perks my interest. I feel inspired to learn about it, which is possibly a new slant on a topic I’m already interested in or something completely unique. I’ll look it up, I’ll buy books on it, and I’ll read until I’ve quenched my…

Milk in brandy your Love is like candy

Take it away if you want to see me cry

You paint image songs in my mind with liquid diamonds from the skies

Bright colored candy canes sugar coated lies

Cotton candy clouds in rainbow colored skies

Even if you know their names never look into their eyes

My heart is a firebirds nest filled with liquid flame

Pleasure burns within my breast and melts the ice of pain

It flutters for a moment trying to…

Write  A Poem

Reach up and touch the sky and run delicate fingers through the stars

Watch as the world around you disappears

Look back and see through eyes from afar.

See busy streets and towns run around

The lives moving like insect drones in motion

These contacts came primarily from the Science Fiction Writers of American. They had some standard warnings and insider…

Last weekend, I had the good fortune to do something I haven’t done since I was a teen — attend a writing retreat.

The retreat to mark my long absence from writers retreats, workshops, and conferences was Writing Our Way Toward Wholeness, an exploration of writing as a spiritual practice. It was incredibly nourishing, and just what I needed after the frenzy of…

My first  book of poetry written at each stage of my life. Childhood, University Student, Mother, Married, Separation and a Single Mother. Life is tough for everyone. I believe that everyone has struggled through one aspect of their life, others every aspect. I do have faith that one day, it will get better and the journey will end with a stronger, wiser woman at the end of it.

I have two active blogs:…
