Introduction	My passions are writing and my family. I love life, love to read, and I love my home. My past careers have been nursing and teaching. I am at a point in my life where I want to write as my job, but unfortunately all my education and experience doesn't add up to that capability. Hindsight is 20-20. When I was a high school graduate, I knew in my heart I wanted to be a writer (hey, I knew it when I was eleven years old!) but everyone talked me out of that as a career goal, and I believed them. The moral to the story is, follow your dreams into a career. Make a living at what you love, somehow. Now I work to support my right to time to write (oh, and to pay some bills). That's okay, though, because everything, everything is material for writing.
