Liminal Glimpses

Poetry is my therapy. When I have difficulty figuring out what I think, feel the need to make a statement, or simply need to purge some emotion I write. I write to exercise my brain. Mr. Winters, wherever you are, thank you for introducing me to a thesaurus in 9th grade English. I’ve been a single parent (before and after), married and divorced, and now have my best friend and resident pain in the ass. I love you Dave. I have three amazing children, Tristan, Casey and Ayla. I love you all so much. I have a brand new granddaughter, my first! Welcome to the world, Jenny Lynn Key. I have seven full siblings, and Mom. To borrow a line from some famous person my family puts the FUN in dysFUNctional! I love you guys! I’ve made money doing personal care, agriculture, ranching, cosmetology, firefighting and all phases of food service, including prison cook! I held field trips for local daycares and kindergarteners. One class saw a lamb birthed. I tutored first grade reading, art teacher assistant, helped out in many classrooms, PTA, 4-H, Sunday school, committees and council.
