I have always been seeking my voice. In the first grade and thereafter, the only negative comment on my report card was that I "whisper too much." I started keeping a diary around age ten to express my feelings and to be heard if only on the blank page. Keeping journals has continued as a practice for me over the last fifty years. I think that time of growing up in a small town in Michigan in the 1950's when "children should be seen and not heard" started me on this path of creative self-expression.
Although an educator in public schools and community colleges for over 20 years, and a director of stage plays for a local community theater for over 10 years, it is the writing that has remained a constant in my life and become the tool for my creative heart to take flight. In the early '90's, I taught journal writing workshops with Neahkahnie Institute in Nehalem and The Artist Way classes through Tillamook Bay Community College before founding Creative Journeys - Writing Workshops for Women in the mid-nineties. I currently speak and teach writing workshops for women on the Oregon Coast, in Michigan, and Arizona.
