The Last 48 Hours  Before The Rainbow The Most Beautiful Things

I am thrilled that my goal to become an author that I set for myself 50 years ago is finally starting to happen. In my spare time I direct plays for Ole Olsen Memorial Theater, a community theater here in my hometown of Peru, IN. I am also a member of the Indiana Thespians judging high school theater competitions. Peru, Indiana, is known as 'The Amateur Circus Capital of the World' and houses an arena where every summer 200 local youth are trained and perform. I was part of it from ages 6-16. My participation culminated in being in flying trapeze. It's an experience I wish children all over the world could have. I gained confidence, a sense of teamwork, and stories to tell for years to come. My absolute favorite pastime of all is spending time with my ten grandchildren ranging from 2-22.  I am married to Alan, a man who is my soulmate. In 2016 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and it forced me to have to go on disability and leave my job managing a grocery store. It was then that my writing became something I wanted to pursue. I've had articles published on author Liz Flaherty's blog online. I recently began submitting to sites like yours and magazines, and currently I am working on a book full of my stories, including my journey with MS, that I hope to self-publish before the end of this year.
