  • Laughing

I'm a writer, a reader, a dreamer. I try to laugh as much as possible and look at things from a positive angle. I'm the kind of person who will eavesdrop on a conversation and then write choice snippets on whatever snatches of paper I can find at the moment. I love winter and take great delight in snow. I work with children on a regular basis and they always make me smile. Sometimes I get waylaid by life, but I always find time to read and write.
