- Bio
- The young adults in the banner are my children. A Houstonian, I have spent my career as a full-time educator and writer. A mother and wife, a reader and music lover, I mostly write about what I care about. That includes poetryand short stories. This year I'm interested in politics, another hurricane, the economy, survival, cooking, philosophy. Rene, my husband, my son Jared, and my daughter Genevieve, are my favorite subjects. And yes, I love to tell stories about them and everything else I encounter on my journey.

Ring with the harmony of liberty.

Barack Obama: Our Canary in the Coal Mine
Tonight I cannot sleep. I am busy lighting candles, meditating on the Audacity of Hope, both Barack's book and the nobility of his cause, this effort to "dream dreams that never were and ask, why not?" George Bernard Shaw's words are haunting me; they echo tonight in the voice of Robert… Read full post »
