About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen
 
She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.
My Dreams...
to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be
TODAY...
I will reach for the stars
Will not give up
Will give all that I have
Dare to dream the impossible dream
For anything in this life is possible
 <---I am blown away by this

Talk Tuesday! Keep the conversation going! *Smile*
Which musicians, actors or athletes do you wish you could've seen perform live while they were still in their prime?
I am so damn thankful I got to see Prince during the Purple Rain tour! And how I wish I had seen George Michael. But there are two big concerts I wish I'd been able to go to. First was The Rolling Stones when they toured in the early 80s after Tattoo You came out. I desperately wanted to go. Begged my uncle to take me with him for weeks, and my mom was even willing to pay for that ticket, but there was no way he was taking some teenager with him and his friends. So I didn't get to go. I was so damn bummed about that. And I admit having a huge crush on Mick Jagger. What can I say? The other concert I really wanted to go to was Bruce Springsteen when they toured after Born in the U.S.A. blew up the charts. What girl at that time didn't want to be Courtney Cox Dancin' in the Dark with Bruce? That was the hard to get ticket. My neighbor was lucky enough to go see that concert. I am still such an 80s girl. I cannot seem to help that. And any time songs from that decade come on, I belt them out as if I'd sung them myself.  Though I will say I was a MTV kid, so that seemed to put us closer to artists because we watched them come alive on our tv's through video.
Yea, me and music have a very intimate relationship going on. I even have play lists to go with my moods.  I don't think any musicians have topped my love for music like they did when I was a teen. Which brings to mind, Van Morrison. I have claimed Brown Eyed Girl as my own. I cannot help but dance when that song comes on. So I'd have to round out my top three with Van Morrison.
If I manage to finish up some of this Quills judging, I may have to put my headphones on and disappear into the 80s before bed tonight.

So sorry for your family's loss, T. I've been through that sadness with the loss of a couple expected grandchildren. It's a terrible loss.
