About Me
- JOYFUL LIVING
- I love words. I always have. Therefore, I write. I love how words flow when strung together like a pearl necklace. I love ideas more—especially when they stir emotions and make me think. I love words when they are poetic or profound and cause me to conjure up pictures in my mind. I love words of wisdom. I love listening to the words of others. I jot them down and review them later in my mind. I feel they are a gift to me—like golden nuggets. Oh, I just love words! One word can make a sentence. Two sentences can make a paragraph. Two paragraphs can make a chapter. Two chapters can make a book. Oh, how I love great books with great words and great ideas! Hours upon hours have been spent stringing these pearls together. I have felt satisfaction and joy in doing so. I have laughed and I have cried. I have tried to be completely truthful with my feelings. But most of all, I have tried to leave a message with lasting value— my own words of wisdom. Now, I invite you to read, think, and find joyful, fulfilling living.
