Columnist
All I ever wanted was to be a writer, to live in the country and have animals. My life has been invested in writing; I lived in the country, and have had animals the entire time. It’s a true blessing to have so many wishes come true.
It was after being told, “You ought to write a book” that the stories of interesting, inspiring, eccentric, and persevering people, Common People Uncommon Lives came about. And, it was the positive response from readers of my newspaper columns that inspired me to publish, From My Perspective, a collection of readers’ favorite pieces.
Columns and stories which generate the most response are those having to do with relationships – with one another, our pets, and the good earth. In 2006 when I wrote about the death of my dog and horses, letters, emails, cards, and calls poured in. If you would like to be added to my "Readers Group" please let me know. I send out an email when new writing appears. If you would like to share your opinion about something I’ve written – good, bad or indifferent – please write to me. We can always learn from one another.
Columns
Please note that while I generally publish a column on the last Sunday of each month in the Battle Creek Enquirer, I don’t always post it to my website. Columns can be accessed either through the Enquirer’s website or by keying my name online. Thanks!
