This site is dedicated to my six year old self, the one who loved school, loved learning & was so full of energy she could not stop talking or passing notes in second grade. A writing task was presented in class and I wrote something so shocking (apparently) the teacher asked me to take my paper, walk to my older brother’s classroom & read it to his class! I thought, at the time that it was a punishment. My older brother, who had already experienced my crashing into his boundaries, was clueless about what was going on. I went begrudgingly out the door and down the hall with my paper, knowing I was not going to do what she said. After only a few minutes I went back to class & told the teacher no one was there & sat down. I knew. Did not know how I knew. But I knew I was going to be a writer someday & tell everyone….finally…what I know. I do not recall what I actually wrote that day, but I do recall the feeling & that is where I started, when I retired 5years ago.
