What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"To reveal life's simple truths-that the world is a safe place, a place where love, if given, is returned; that those who live with integrity, prosper and, above all, that we should enjoy the trip."
I am committed to living more lightly on the earth and helping others to do so. I am learning more about gardening and enjoy working in a community garden. I would like to use my writing skills to spread the word.
