i am a latebloomin lesbian mom of 2 incredible children, a boy 7 and a girl 9.  they are my passion.
i am an art teacher to elementary school age children and a private (no longer!) poet.  i felt i was
supposed to be with men...until i allowed my love for womyn to surface.  my denial made me very
sick.  now, life carries all the dimension i dreamed it would.  in my poetry, my artwork, my identity
has always been visible.  it just took time for me to 'catch up' to who i've known myself to be inside.
i feel very grateful to have other womyn read my poetry.  i am heard.
