I am a "retired" florist turned freelance writer. I enjoy cooking, keeping saltwater fish, and baking fun cakes. I have had some unusual life-experiences including experiences with alternative lifestyles and homelessness.

I am passionate about ending homelessness and helping people get by and enjoy life on less money.
