Welcome to My Seriously Joy-filled World of Words! 

I'm a writer, reciter, a speaker, a teacher, a sister, a daughter, a mother, a wife. A listener, a seeker , a maker of nonsense, a reader, a leader, a lipslippery fool. A doctor, a walker, a talk-talk-talk- talker, a giggle-glad Oma, an odd sort of soul.

Yearner and learner 
An ever beginner! 
Hope is my teacher 
Life is my school.

Come live and be merry and join with me and sing the sweet chorus of Ha Ha Hee.  
~ William Blake
