My Story
Back in junior high my best friend gave me a wicker basket full of pencils, legal pads, journals and books on "how to write”. It remains one of the best presents I have ever received. Writing was pushed to the side for many years as I trained to be a doctor and later left that path to stay at home with my four kids. Today though, I am thankful for this space where I can write and encourage community bonding through avenues like book club. |
