Poetry is my first love; it allows me to express my emotions and thoughts. I furthered my education at the ripe age of forty. Receiving degrees in Psychology and Social Work, Diplomas in Child Psychology, Adult Psychology, and Counselling and Associates Degree in Life Coaching. With my career on track I decided to tackle my ultimate dream of having my own book of poetry and thoughts published. Soulful Inspirations was my dream. I write Mental Health columns for two newspapers. I give my words freely to each paper in hopes of helping others.The gift of writing should be shared, helpful and enjoyed.
