Dancing a tightrope in pointe shoes between my domestic world and my creative one. Today I dangle by two fingers and a prayer…

I am an Army wife, and mother first. These are not things that define me but they are what I have spent the majority of my life doing. Most of the time I am very good it. And…well…sometimes I’m not.

I have lived all over the United States and in South Korea.

I learned a little bit about art at Troy State University in Alabama, Cameron U in Oklahoma, and I culminated my education at Armstrong Atlantic U in Savannah, GA. I studied photography, ceramics, drawing and painting. It was an amazing time for me because I did it all while raising a family.

..And then I was blocked for three years. Three years of no art, aside from the occasional handmade greeting card….

...And then one day it came back.

Now I am mostly trying to forget everything I learned and just, simply do me.

Writing

Some History

Way too soon the touching began / Much older hands, spreading / much younger limbs

Excerpt from The Secret Life of Bella

A few years ago, he and I went through a really rough patch. / Infidelity. / His infidelity, actually. / I freaked out, I cried, I screamed. I worried and worried and worried some more.

The Definition of Foreplay

True foreplay is the look in a man’s eye that says to you, he remembers everything he did to you / last night and he plans to repeat it again soon.

Domestic Pondering

Who am I and why was I put here / I ponder deeply as I / scrub the nasty toilets and the soiled floor / around them
