I am a Californian, born and raised. My husband, Greg, and I Iive in San Diego, California. We have two grown sons, both married. Our older son, Eric, is an artist and filmmaker and our younger son, Jeffrey, is a film editor and composer. Their work is featured on their website, Albino Fawn Productions. We have two adorable grandsons, the younger just recently born in June, 2021! We also have an adorable granddaughter! I was an R.N. for many years, and chose to retire early. I am a Christian and active with the women's ministry at my local church. I love music, the arts, and have dabbled with poetry off and on for the last several years.

Good point, Ian, and Tom, too! I'm not sleeping much at the moment, so can't even think straight, but will look on tapping into my frustrations for a poem there...

Use the turmoil, feel the hurt, the frustration, dig deep and write in blood,...you are unsung, ...perhaps this is the catalyst for change, too many skate over true feelings and hide behind dissolvable emotions, this is your opportunity to write of rage....lol....man up Laura..X Ian
