As a native Houstonian, a rarity these
days, I hold two licensures in the state
of Texas: one in chemical dependency
counseling, the other in massage
therapy. In 2004, I trained to be a
volunteer for Houston Hospice, a
life-changing training session I believe
would benefit all. Hospice, contrary to
popular belief, is not about dying.
Hospice is about helping you live until
you die.
Although writing has been a part of my
genetic lineage, the writing bug didn�t
officially bite until 2007. From that
point on, my true life passion sprouted
and came into full bloom. I�m an
observer by nature�ask any close friend
or family member. I�ve studied lines and
movie dialogues for years, which can
often become annoying to said above
friends and family (I can see them
nodding in agreement).
I�m married to a wonderful man and have
a passel of grandchildren I adore. As a
hobby, I crochet baby/security blankets
(quite obsessively) for the Linus
Project. Crocheting keeps my hands busy
at night while I study movies and
sit-coms for story ideas. I have always
said I will learn to knit when I grow
up. So far, that hasn�t happened.
