Bio
I am a mother to three kids. As a high school drop out I never felt qualified enough to pursue writing, but with the encouragement of my tribe I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and sharing a hidden passion.

Ignorant Words
As a young child I had a terrible speech impediment. I went to a speech therapist three times a week. I was so self-conscious when the lady would stick her head in my elementary classroom and pull me from the normal lessons to go work on my ability to talk. ‘How could I not speak.’ I would often wonder. ‘Babies learn how to talk without a therapist having them do odd mouth exercises in front of a mirror.’ I loved words and reading, the vocabulary inside my head was large, but getting it to exist in an audible form was nearly impossible.

Passionate vs Passion
When I read this challenge’s title, I skipped over it because I did not feel like it applied to me. I do not feel passionate about anything really anymore. It’s almost one of those, ‘if everyone’s special is anyone really special’ topics to me. We have so many passions that come and go so quickly. At times I have felt my passions have been spread too thin as I have enjoyed many things so deeply. People in their fifties are rarely as driven by what they loved in their twenties anymore, but does that make us fickle? Humans tend to be the butterflies of the cause and passion army. Each new day brings a new onslaught of colorful flowers to admire.

Out on a Limb
Monica sat motionless in an oak tree as she watched two men pass below. From her vantage point she saw that the men were dragging a deer. She’d seen these two often lately but like most people, they’d not seen her. Most people had formed groups that now lived behind protected walls and rarely ventured out, some like the two arguing over who had to clean the deer, lived off to themselves. These people were not normally a problem, but they could be dangerous.
