About me:
I am a human being. I enjoy oxygen, smiling and laughing.OK, seriously. There are a lot of things I have yet to discover, but I do know this:
I am a Catholic because I believe it is the religion that comes closest to the Truth.
I am a vegetarian (lacto ovo) because I love animals; they are God's precious creations. I enjoy too much of my own life to take someone (or something) else's (except for mosquitoes & other biting insects - that's self-defense).
I love writing. I fell head over heels in love with words when I was 7 and although we've had our differences, that love remains one of the strongest driving forces of my life.

FAVORITE ESSAYS
* Being Single, Being Myself: An African American Woman Discusses Being Single
By Lerita M. Coleman
Printed in Esquire Feb. 1994.
“I cannot be less than myself so my man can feel good about himself. Then we both sink to lower levels of being in the world. I must be my real self so that he can be his real self.”
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1264/is_n10_v24/ai_14804576
* Why I Want a Wife
by Judi Brady
Printed in Ms. Magazine. 1971.
“I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.”
http://inst.santafe.cc.fl.us/~mwehr/HumanRel/14WifeW.html
* How to be an Author, or Have You Earned this Cliché?
by Lorrie Moore
From ''Self-Help,'' a collection of short stories by Lorrie Moore. 1985.
“It is best if you fail at an early age - say, 14. Early, critical disillusionment is necessary so that at 15 you can write long haiku sequences about thwarted desire.”
http://www.diversityjobmarket.com/books/98/09/20/specials/moore-writer.html
* X: A Fabulous Children’s Story
By Lois Gold.
This is available as a children’s story, but is usually printed in its entirety in an anthology dealing with gender issues. Available from:
