I have wanted to write for as long as I can remember. After I actually started writing in my mid-thirties, I wanted desperately to write a weekly column for a newspaper. That dream finally came true. Now, over 300, 000 words later, my columns will not only be published in a newspaper but also be collected book form--four books to be exact.What are my columns about? Marriage, family, raising my children, reflections, attending college as an adult, humor, diet, exercise, food, recipes, inspiration, my experience with cancer-everything that was going on in my life during this time.My columns have been well received by local readers. I trust that my wider audience will enjoy them also.
