Military for 40 years without ever joining. 17 yrs with dad and 23 with the ex. Europe, central and south America, and the great United States of America, have been my playground. The life of a daughter, wife, mother and now a 15 year divorcee of men who had dreams and daughters I no longer know. I lived dreams beyond anything I could have imagined. I just went with it and the ride was awesome, even if filled with challenges. Dreams of espionage and dangerous missions, families left behind .... Well that was them, yes and me, but my story is yet to be told. I wonder if I really have a dream, a story. Well I'm about to find out. I'm just gonna write..write here.That was then this is now.

My only goal in life is to experience everything. Because I know that is impossible for one life time, I try to experience through other peoples stories, poems and ideas. I try to write to express my experience in such a way you can feel it the exact same way I felt it, which might be a feeling you have never had the opportunity to feel due to your personal situation. In writing I look for whether or not I can connect to a piece of writing to a point it makes me feel like I have an idea of what the experience or emotion the writer is conveying actually is. I want finish the reading feeling like something I have felt and can relate to was very accurately described, or experience a feeling I've never had the opportunity to before.
