During my writing, I find that it gives my pleasure and satisfaction. I was born in Jefferson County, Birmingham, Alabama. I am a 1971 graduated of Wenohan High School, Birmingham, Alabama. Reading and writing is my favorite hobbies. It was only in 1995 that it was brought to my attention by a co-workers, Kay Little, that I was good at what wrote. She had me entering in many poetry contests which led me to compete in California with other poetry writers where I won a diamond harmony trophy for one of my poem. Over the years, I found that I could write about almost everything and anything. I'm the mother two children, one grandson, and one great-grand daughter. Now I have resides in Selma, Alabama, for the last 39 years.view less
