<div style="padding-top:10px;" class="norm" align="left">I'm Donna and I'd like to welcome you to my Inkspot! Here you can browse and read my stories. Most of my writing is about my family and friends, and how they helped me through two spinal cord surgeries twenty-three years ago.

Surviving tough times can make you appreciate not only the good times but all the wonderful people in your life every day, as well. It is with this deep sense of love, appreciation and gratitude that I write my stories.

I hope that you enjoy them, and if so, you'll drop me a note and let me know!


Have a wonderful day!
