What Led Me To This Place In Time
My writing history
During twenty-five years in the health care field, I began keeping a journal to wind down at the end of the day.After ten years of journaling and filling many a notebook, I started keeping an online diary at My Dear Diary. The diary gave me a taste for writing on the web.
During the early 2000's, I began writing essays, continued journaling, and soon started writing short stories. I moved on to novels, and have completed three inspirational romance novels.
Whether ghostwriting, crafting articles, blogging, or web content writing - I am all for it.
As a former health care worker and currently a caregiver to my elderly father, I have written many articles and blogs about those topics.
One article was published in the January 2008 issue of Diabetes Forecast.

- Welcome Julie and Lizzy, glad you stopped by. For me, journalling has been a life saver over the years. A place to let everything go. Even if you are no long journalling, it is a place that will always welcome you back when you need to unload.
