All About Diane aka Grannysage
This is the portal to all of my writing blogs, lens, and published articles. It will give you some of my background and my philosophy of life. The picture is of me standing in front of the one room school I attended while growing up in Copper Harbor, MI
Diane's Background
I married a boy from Kansas and moved there after graduation. I worked in the social work field for years. My last social work job was as a nursing home social worker. But writing has always been my passion. I had three children and was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years. During that time I wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper that was a cross between Erma Bombeck and Ann Landers.
But life gets in the way, and I didn't write anything for years. Then, in January of 2008, I quit my job as a customer service representative at a call center. While waiting to find a new job, I started writing again. And this is the map to all the things I have created since then.
I have remarried and am now following the Wiccan spiritual path. I talk about that on my GrannySage's Almanac blog. I love fairies and they wanted their own blog as well. My mother taught me how to copper enamel, so I have a blog about enameling.
I am a published writer on Associated Content and Helium. And I have five lenses on Squidoo so far, with more to come.
I hope you enjoy the journey!
