Updated--7-11-2012 There has been many blessings in my life since my heart failure. It will be 3 years this July 16,2012 I am still growing used to being slower in body than in mind. I still thank God for my last born and I would still sacrifice for him again.

Originally, my grandmother whose name is part of my pen name was a weaver of stories when I was child. So part of my tribute was to her. As to the priestess part, when I was a little girl and I was going to both Catholic and Evangelist churches I was looking at all the good all the men were doing and at that time there was not a lot of female pastors let alone a priestess except in other religions back in the 1970's being just a kid it was a whole lot joyous then. I also remember things my Cherokee Grandmother used to say to me but I digress.

I am the keeper of my dreams that God, my Mother, my Parents, Grandmothers and Husband and Children have given to me. I never thought of myself as a writer originally, but I since I was reading a lot of stories from other writers made me want to weave some of my own.

It's not what you call me, but what I answer to. - African proverb

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. - Diane Mariechild

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. Mother Theresa

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Helen Keller

The one thing that will my heart rate work faster and will make me quit reading altogether anyone's fiction is when you judge a person without communication. I am not perfect but as a realistic Catholic-Christian Native American, African Carribean, New Yorker origins if you even try to do the 'throw the first stone' without asking me a question puts me into a position where I can't be at this point. I will just then quit reading your story altogether no matter how good it is. There is nothing wrong with getting critical comments because everyone has a right to their own perspective but please try to understand if I get confused on what message you are trying to convey for your story. Maybe it is a different writing style. I am not a writing major so by writing myself and getting both positive and negative comments can help encourage me to become a good writer. Be mature about it and email me I'm open to your thoughts and feelings.

I also in the process of writing a cookbook! I am trying to get a feel of what kind of recipes people want but because I am living in a big family of people I need ideas on what should I do. Seasonal or non-seasonal? Yes little old me is doing this, I am now walking half a mile without catching my breath. I am very blessed to get some ideas down and I will soon be updating and adding new chapters pretty soon.
