My passions are writing, reading, running, and my family. I have three children, a wonderful husband, two cats, and a new border collie who is smarter than all of us! I recently retired from teaching after 40 years. I am fluent in French, fairly fluent in Spanish, (I have to speak slowly), and I can read Italian. I am in love with France after having lived and studied in France my junior year in college, and I have taken 18 student trips there. My writing specialties are parenting, running, education, and self-help.I want to help people with my writing, and writing brings me peace that I hope I can extend to others.
