Inspirational Writing I began writing poetry at age 9 and amassed quite a volume by the time I entered my teens. From early childhood on, I created little songs in my head—both tunes and lyrics—that I sang to the trees, the rocks, the water in the brook behind our house, the Earth herself. I carried on conversations with those same elements and Earth essences. Together we (the Nature Spirits and I) envisioned worlds of imagination and created a haven of peace and serenity. In those moments alone with Nature, I knew my greatest childhood joy and I could see the world as it was meant to be: a place where love reigned and everything was beautiful. I never stopped envisioning that world. My writing background includes a BA degree in English, specialization in writing, from East Carolina University in 1980. I later went to graduate school at UNCG for teaching certification. For years thereafter, I continued to take classes in writing just for the fun of it! I remember fondly my greatest teachers: Terry Davis, author of Vision Quest (made into a film), Mysterious Ways and If Rock and Roll Were a Machine, John W. Warren, ultra-strict journalism professor at ECU, and Orson Scott Card, award-winning author of Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and many more. After spending a few years teaching English, I used my talents by working as a graphic designer and copywriter. But my love for writing fiction and poetry never waned. Although my life centers around spiritual counseling and healing now, I still write the occasional verse or story when inspiration hits, and the Muse often brings gifts from Spirit. This page will be updated from time to time with my writings and ramblings. Here are a few poems and a couple of stories.
