Have you ever had a great thought, or maybe even a great story come to you. One you wanted to write about and develop characters and details for? Or write of a far off place that holds magical powers whether real or just emotionally captivating? Who knows if anyone would even want to read it? Would it make sense? Would it be real?.... I have always loved writing, although it may not be on the top of my talent list. It has always been my passion. Perhaps that's why i am a teacher. I can create adventures everyday that capture the attention of eager waiting children on the rug awaiting a magnificent story. Or maybe those same students are awaiting an explanation that explains why things happen the way they do in life. Or why we must do this assignment when it seems we have already done something similar in nature. Now, i may not be a writer, or a publisher, OH but i am a story teller. Reality, fairy tales, Reasons for why we have to do things we don't want to. I have written it all. And perhaps one day i could even write an autobiography to share the crazy adventures and unexpected life changing moments i have experienced through out the years...But as for now i have chosen to write those down in other forms. Journals, poems, blog posts, doodles, notes, pictures. Anyone who knows me knows that you wont find me too far away from my camera. In fact my friends and family often moan and groan as i insist on capturing the moment at nearly every event i attend. Now again i may not be a fancy famous photographer. But i have my own collection of memories. Pictures that can tell stories of words i have forgotten. Smiles that share emotions that cant be explained, and tears that remember pain that has been forgotten. I may never share these writings and pictures with the world, but they alone serve as documentation of my life and the effects and experiences i have lived, and that alone is enough for me.
May stories and memories continue to ring in my heart and head forever more.

i love stories and i remember when Cheri Freston and i were younger we wouldn't be able to play with one another on Sunday so we would write a story about one another with magazines, like i would find a women in a catalog and name her and find kids and a husband and cute pictures out and glue them on with the story- we had so much fun, we would then exchange them over the fence and run back home and read out stories.. you can tell how super creative you are. Thanks for sharing your sweet talents.
