WRITING

Writing is like the thread that weaves my life together.  I've been journalling as a means of making sense of my world since I was six with a sparkly pen and a key locked diary.  I was the literary director for my high school lit magazine Elan and sponsored a literary magazine at the school where I teach for many years.  In college I read poetry at Take Back the Night Marches.  As an adult I was a regular member of Austin Roulette Readings at Malvern Books.  I have found inspiration and guidance through The Artist's Way and Natalie Goldberg's Zen writing retreats and workshops.  With the birth of my daughter in 2009 I pledged to also "give birth to myself" by starting a personal blog online that eventually became Rambling Roads and now rises once again like a phoenix in its present form.  My hope is that by finding my own voice in the wilderness, I can find and amplify the voices of others as well.  I hope you too will add your voice to this magical quilt.
