What is the aim or goal of your writing: "An automobile accident in 1969 changed the direction of my life. After attending school to become a teacher, I retired in 1990 after nineteen years of teaching/directing. Teachers in high school and college formed my desire to express myself in written words and working with pre-school children and their clear, simple communication as well as those of my grandchildren have inspired me. I live on St. Martin Bay with my husband, Loyd, where wildlife, wildflowers, magnificent trees and the ever-changing bay produce creativity and motiviation to write. Sharing part of each year with family and friends and viewing spectacular sights along the way keep opportunities open for capturing new pictures with words. My life has been filled with blessings and I hope to pass them on with poetry."
