Introduction Hi, My name is Andrea Peden and I love to write. I just realized how much I loved to write last summer when I took an online course. However, I also have a double major in English and Elementary Education and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling. Phew! That's a mouthful. After my last stint as a Therapeutic Case Manager, I realized that you can't always find true happiness doing what other people expect you to do. Sometimes you need to find your own path and sometimes that takes a lifetime. In my case, I was 58 years old before I realized what I really wanted to do when I grew up. I wanted to be a writer. So I invite you to join me on this journey as I share poems, fictional and non-fictional short stories, vignettes and other interesting tidbits.
Interests Music, reading, writing, walking with my dog, spending quality time with my husband, Michael.
Favorite Movies Bells of St. Mary's, Meet me in St. Louis, A Beautiful Mind.
