As a child I never dreamed I could become a writer. I was a shy girl who loved to write little stories and poems and yet this evolved years later through moments of hope through dreams of a better future.
When my daughter, Kate, passed away years ago I thought I couldn’t go on. But hope sometimes comes in dreams and one dream weeks after Kate’s death changed the course of my life.
A dream,came unexpectedly to read the book, Charlotte’s Web, a children’s book. There would be a message in it. Never having a message like this before during sleep and with hope in my heart, I bought the book. The message at the end of the book was clear. Just as Wilbur the pig would go on without his friend, Charlotte, the spider, I would go on with my life, loving those left for me to care for, my surviving childen, my husband, my friends and students.
When I met a man I know was an angel months later, I felt compelled to write about angels, grief, loss, forgiveness, over coming bullying and moving forward with kindness in my heart and hope for the future. This culminated in years now of writing stories from the heart.
Over the years, my writing has evolved with a memoir, Special Needs Children The Angels On My Shoulder, my children’s book, When The Angel Sent Butterflies, and many heartfelt stories in my Mystic Bay Series. My tenth book coming this new year, will surround the same themes and angel stories with a new character, an angel in town.
So many hopes and dreams have come true for me. Grief and loss happened but how I’ve handled it is thanks to my belief in angels and God. I believe the ability to write came from above. Some readers feel my books bring hope for a more kind tomorrow. It’s happening all around us now, a change, a love for our fellow man, an awareness, a spiritual awakening of the gratitude for our earth, our lives, and each other. I had my spiritual awakening years ago once upon a dream, a dream which came true.
