What is the aim or goal of your writing: I have a supportive, encouraging and loving family with a commitment to education and the arts as well as an understanding that learning and growing are lifelong endeavors. Success begins with nurturing and loving one's self and then sharing your gifts with others. I'm dedicated to my work, believe in living my dreams and starting each day with a smile and a cartoon, all the time remembering the brain has an infinite hunger which must be fed!
