BECAUSE . . .

Somewhere hunched over her keyboard for the twelfth consecutive night, a hungry writer trades sleep for dreams, suspends her duties, and disregards family to create a nectar that nourishes her soul. Ignoring pangs she decodes her vision, consults a muse, and transcribes all that she imagines. She'll package the elixir to share with her community. A story. Food for thought. Each sip--a culmination of education, practice, passionate pursuit and hours of painstaking effort--is devoured in seconds despite the writer’s famine. Though for 17 cents a day she could replenish herself and sustain a village of hungry minds.

I’m Essence

a daydreamer and night writer, a chronic multitasker, and recovering perfectionist. Relationships are my thing. I’ve been married for more than half my life and have raised kids for nearly as long. I know commitment, sacrifice, hard work, compromise, patience . . . losing patience, love, joy, difficulty, and fostering relations while mediating a fractured, extended family. When all else fails our relationships are what matter. It’s why I write, and what I write about.
