 Just as Renee Zellweger’s famous line,  “You had me from the first Hello,”  writing  had me from the first poem.  One of my fondest memories is creating a class poetry album in the fourth grade.  My initial attraction to girl scouts was the desire to earn the writer’s badge.  Since those rewarding early experiences, I have taken several writing courses (NRI, Palm Beach community college, Writers’ Digest online) and attended numerous writers’ conferences.  I organized the Clewiston Christian Writes Group, a chapter of the American Christian Writers Group.   My published writings include:
