I’ve just returned from my family’s vacation in Estes Park and I am getting ready to write poetry tomorrow. I participated last year and I am ready to accept the half-marathon challenge in 2021. I feel like life lived in the past year will be more than enough fodder to create moving poems in this marathon. I guess we shall see where inspiration will strike.<\/p>\n
I am an English teacher (AP Literature, Creative Writing, and Junior English) with 25 years of experience! My sons are grown. One is a 1st Lt. in the Marines and my 19-year-old started his own arborist business after graduating high school in 2020. My husband and I have been married for 28 years this summer.<\/p>\n
I have a goal this year of reading 100 books and I’ve currently read 59. I am 12 books ahead of schedule according to Goodreads. Last year I read 76. I know I will never read all of the books but I am sure enjoying trying.<\/p>\n
I wish everyone just the right words to say what you feel! Happy writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
