The Greatest is a story for both big and little people between the ages of two and 102 . . . A boy experiences the loss of a dream but as he grows to be a man, finds he did not lose it at all. Open the pages to a delightful tale of love and see how adversity leads to something beautiful!
Welcome to A Mixed Bag, an eclectic assortment of poems inspired through the experience of living an ordinary life, a mixture of tears and sorrow . . . joys and laughter. The poems collected here, born from my mother's passing, reflect the fact life is both a mixture of happy and sad moments.
As an educator with a degree in elementary and special education, I have spent many memorable years working with children who have disabilities. My husband Paul and I have five sons and have lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest for ten years.
I enjoyed many fulfilling years as a stay-at-home mom and now have time to write, garden, draw in charcoal and paint. I treasure time spent with family and friends at the seashore or wherever we might be.
I believe when pain enters our life it may never be the same, but it still can be beautiful...joy and sweetness to all!
