Who I am
As a writer, I see life as a hero’s journey.

As a child I was discouraged to become something more than a caregiver. My mother said she did her best to make sure I failed at everything I tried. She told me a year before she committed suicide she was jealous of my beauty and creativity. She wanted to keep me diminished so I would continue to take care of her and my brothers and sisters. I was ten years old when given the care of my siblings and her. I rebelled. I ran away from home.
At sixteen I felt lost, alone who will rescue me? I had no boundaries, no self esteem. Over the years I discovered my creativity and excelled in my jobs. My personal relationships were a disaster.
The theme of being rescued continued for many years until I was diagnosed with cervical cancer at age forty.
Doctors gave me drugs to cope. But I wanted more. I asked myself, if I were healthy and well what would I be doing with my life? I had to choose a direction to live. I went into counseling to discover and heal my past.
Spiritually I discovered an inner path to my spiritual heart and my ability to assist others in their healing.
Through a lot of re-training I have discovered greater courage and confidence. I am walking my own hero’s journey. Learning with ups and downs. Now I have a purpose. I am a creative, enthusiastic visionary who enjoys making a difference through service.
I know what it is like to be struggling with people standing in the way. Or maybe doubt in their ability. So I reach out and offer a kind word or encouragement.
In service I reach out to people who may need a mentor in writing or need a little support as they try to become entrepreneurs. Sometimes when I have cooked a big pot of food in my slow cooker I will bring a few cups to my neighbors.
Become someone’s hero. I encourage you to reach out, make someone’s day with a kind word or offer your wisdom to someone you see could use a helping hand.
My writing on Substack will include themes of service, creativity, writing and dreams.
Who made the rule change is hard? What if you could do anything with ease and grace? And create greater courage, confidence, and creativity?
Never say never.
With acceptance of my life’s challenges, and asking for the inner guidance of God’s light, I received a doable map for change. I went from being homeless, jobless, and penniless, to experiencing the biggest dream I could have ever imagined.
