I started it as just practice in writing.
I grew up wanting to be a writer.. I had things published (editorials) in the Marietta Daily Journal when I was in high school....
My parents split and I had to move my senior year with a dad that is as backwoods and backwards as they get-- College isn't for girls... My plans for school here in GA were smashed-- buit I went anyway up in PA.
He kicked me out of the house half way through my first semester-- then I was so mad at my parents for destroying my plans- I became self destructive.... not good...
I found myself a single mother of 3, (husband is a dead beat) Then I worked myself through school- (Student of the Year BTW!) by scrubbing toilets and mowing lawns for anyone who would let me. Right before I finished school- a friend asked me to be his campaign manager. In school- My PASSION for writing was reawoken..
So, it had been almost 20 years since I had written. Politics and writing were my passions now- so I started just writing. At first it was just to practice. Just to discipline myself to write somehting everyday... then I got involved with Terri- and I went from politics to Activist.....
All my political ties have helped- the experience, etc..
I love blogging because I love helping people-- I LOVE PEOPLE! I love writing. I love research. I love investigating. I love trying to right injustices.
It is just the way God created me-- these are my passions- and I am finally using them for something.....
I am blessed.
I like debating. (just in case you didn't notice. lol)
I love taking a problem and working it from every angle possible. That doesn't make me a very good activist, but I work excellent in think tanks.
Because I can see things from many angles law was a natural fit. I have a head for minutia.
Since we are sharing: I ran away at 16 because I was smater than my parents (cough). I ended up in South Carolina taking care of my grandma. Everybody else was to busy.
I'd work and take one class at a time. I met a great guy, we got married, bought the house, got the promotions. you know all the stuff your supposed to do when you get married.
Do you want to hear the rest? It's sad. and I don't want to monopolize the board.
