About me

Occupation Storyteller
Location The Deep South, United States
Introduction Cleaner. That is me. If you ask my husband, he will disagree but it seems I have spent years just cleaning. Cleaning out my ears, my drawers, my babies' bottoms, other peoples' baby's bottoms, toilets, clothes, dishes, files, floors, cat boxes, lint traps & so much more. Now I just want to clean out my head! It is SO full of words,thoughts, scenes and scenarios. I have an odd affection for trees, cats, black & white photography, a huge array of music, vinyl records, the colors purple & orange, cheese, coffee, beer, daffodils, the smell of old books and socks - not the smell of old socks...I just like socks. Recently, I developed a desire to wear hoodies & find myself pulling up my hood even when I am not wearing one. I love my family, my kids, their friends (they are adults), my cats, and my friends which I have learned to weed out. Real friends are hard to come by, should never be taken for granted. Words give me joy. They make me laugh, cry, think, challenge myself. Whether through books, poetry, orally, written, or in song. I love words. So I must now blog. Wish me luck?

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?

Dreaming. Trying to wake up because I am naked. Anxious because I am close to 50 and am not crazy about people seeing my naked self. Oh, I am dreaming. Why I am at school again? Oh, I am dreaming. Hey! I'm not so old. Hey! I am naked! Do I want to go swimming? DUDE! We do not have a swimming pool at our schools in the south. Gotta go to the Y. Hand me my towel. Somebody nudge me.
