I have been for eleven years this year after having practiced as a registered nurse on labor and delivery for nineteen years. I have had the pleasure of assisting old spirits into new lives for thirty years now. I have also been a lover of words. While I have never considered myself a spiritual person per se, I was looking for that “something” that makes life make sense. Fortunately, that something found me in the guise of a book and a feeling of love. You don’t have to be qualified to have an opinion. That is a God given right. And writing a poem is an expressive act that if comes from genuine emotion, can influence those open to it. I hope that many will be able open to it and find value in the words I was inspired to write. I currently live, practice midwifery, and write in Yonkers, New York.view less
