When I learned of Dr. Angelou’s death, I mourned that day in sadness. Today marks five years she has been gone from our world. I wrote this when I learned of her passing.
I’ve only wanted to meet two celebrities since I was a little girl…Patti LaBelle and Dr. Maya Angelou….she was the inspiration along with Langston Hughes for my love of writing poetry….a legend in the arts of poetry, writing, education, wisdom, humanity and love has slipped away…May you rest in eternal peace Dr. Maya Angelou!!

I was born in Tucson, Arizona, the baby of six children. I remember sounding out and spelling big words before the second grade. Words have always fascinated me. I began writing poetry as a child. I have very few accolades but nevertheless, I am proud of my writing and of them. I had one published poem when I was eight years old in the Phoenix Gazette, one published in 2003 in a poetry theology and I won a trophy and Poetry.com's (LuLu's now) 2005 Poet of the year. I have composed 100s of pieces of poetry growing up, most of which were lost. The poetry I am compiling now was written in my adult life.
I write as a way to free my mind and attempt to stir emotion and thought in others. Although I am devoting all my time now to writing now, I'm an orthopedic nurse (LPN) by trade, the owner of a small crochet business and I aspire to be a makeup artist.
I began this site as a launch to my upcoming books My Poetic Life (memoirs of love) and Fibromyalgia: Behind the Walls of Silence but it has taken on a life of its own. I hope those who come across my page will enjoy reading everything I speak on in my blogs and poetry. My hope is to reach the hearts of readers to inspire, shed light, advise, and spread love.
