About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mommy. Writer. Lover.
Location Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction Going on...well, getting close to thirty now, seventh of thirteen children, the mommy to the dearest child on earth named LEO and happily married to Ryan, the man of my dreams! I love to read but writing is my passion. I scribble in my journal, I tap out emails or jot letters less than I would like, I have a book in the attic and pages of poetry filed away. Music is my next passion and I've composed around fifteen contemporary classical pieces. I am unashamedly addicted to life. I always want to live it with lots of energy, and I always aim to laugh the loudest. I like sunsets and sunrises, a starlit sky, wide open spaces, meadows, wind in my hair, haymows, sunshine dancing through the windows - making patterns on the floor, taking care of my home, loving my husband, playing volleyball, softball, ice hockey or anything else that strikes my fancy, listening to music, talking or chumming with my family and friends, full moons, carefree spirits, my prayer walks with God. I have been captivated forever. My heart is bound to my King.
Interests Loving my husband, being with my family, photography, my Irish heritage, volleyball, collecting unique shells and strolling across long stretches of beach, hiking, camping, boating, scrapbooking, composing songs on my MIDI grand, writing, journaling, reading, discussing the merits, qualities & devices of literature, a good movie, sitting under the stars, porch swings, Starbucks, keeping up with my network of friends, design, dreaming, shopping, the smell of freshly-baked rolls, flower arranging, gardens, & laughing.
