I look at the words About Me and think to myself, where to begin.
As a child I began writing stories, poems and plays. I think the first time my work was recognized was when I was eleven years old and a teacher decided to make one of my plays part of the end of the school year celebration. From that point on, I became hooked on writing.
Poetry was my first love; it allowed me to express my many emotions and thoughts. It also took me to a spiritual place in my life that I did not know existed.
I returned to further my education at the ripe age of forty. Received my
Bachelor’s Degrees in Psychology and Social Work, as well as Diplomas with Honours in Child Psychology, Adult Psychology, and Counselling and an Associates Degree in Life Coaching.I have recently become a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor and work with Crave Life - Drug Free in Rehab Services.
I started a private practice counselling others, but was always drawn back to my writing. With my career on track I decided to tackle my ultimate dream of having my own book of poetry and thoughts published. To experience the feelings of seeing my hard work come to fruition in the form of Soulful Inspirations was my dream come true.
Since that time I have started writing Mental Health columns for two newspapers. I give my words freely to each paper in hopes of helping others recognize if they have a need to seek help .I love to use my brain to write whatever comes to mind.
The gift of writing should be shared, helpful and enjoyed. I do everything in my power that will help people to become mentally healthy.My websites are online to help all please drop by and check them out at
