I have wanted to write for as long as I can remember. After I actually started writing in my mid-thirties, I wanted desperately to write a weekly column for a newspaper. That dream finally came true. Now, over 300,000 words later, my columns will not only be published in a newspaper but also be collected book form--four books to be exact. What are my columns about? Marriage, family, raising my children, reflections, attending college as an adult, humor, diet, exercise, food, recipes, inspiration, my experience with cancer-everything that was going on in my life during this time. My columns have been well received by local readers. I trust that my wider audience will enjoy them also.
