I am a full-time English faculty member at a local community college. I teach College Reading Skills, Composition, and Literature, and I’m the editor of our literary magazine. I learn as much from my students as they learn from me. I can’t think of anything on this earth I’d rather be doing.
I have a Masters degree in English and a Bachelors degree in Education, but I am also a certified Hypnotist and a certified Reiki Massage Therapist. I’m very interested in alternative healing, and I look forward to a lifetime of exploring new ways of healing and being healed. I love philosophy, especially Eastern philosophy. I call myself a Christian because I believe in the teachings of Christ, but I’m not affiliated with any particular church, and I don’t believe I should be.
I love creative things, and I will try almost anything as long as it stirs my creative juices. Writing is my first creative love, though. I belong to a local writer’s group and enjoy sharing my writing with the group and having the group share with me. My husband also belongs to this group because he loves to write also.
I’m politically active and opinionated, believing that there are better ways of operating our government than the traditional ways that seem to have gotten our country into a place where I hardly recognize it anymore. But I believe in hope for change. I’m very patriotic and tolerant of people and their ideas. America is a wonderfully free and creative place to live, and I never want to lose that.
Two books have probably influenced me and helped me grow spiritually and emotionally more than any others: Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch and The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. I love to read and learn. As long as I can read, I can learn, and as long as I can learn, I can grow.
