In short

  • My name is Sybil. I  have reached the half century mark and when I figure out what that means I will let you know. I really don't feel any different than I did 20 years ago, a bit more, well, character maybe.(sounds better than wrinkles doesn't it?)

    I Have written all my life (Well okay it has just been in journals for me, but still :) ) Have a 23 yrs old son that I adopted as a baby . He is wonderful and strong young man and I am sure that some of my writing will be about Him. He was born with an cleft lip and palate and has been through 13 surgeries, he is the bravest person I have ever known..

    I am newly married , we both have years of baggage but had managed to unpack most of it before we got together. I have a new 15 yr old step son who is much smarter than I'll ever be! Either he is going to be a scientist or politician we are not sure yet (I'm voting for scientist)


     I am also an adult child of a mentally ill mother, who refused treatment, a child of abuse and neglect.
    I am a child of the I AM, the ever living, eternal   creator. I am a believer in the truth of the sacrifice of the son of the Creator, sent to this earth to open the door between heaven and earth, that we might be given a new birth in the spirit, a new place in the universe.

  • I've been writing ever since I can remember, poems , journals, short stories etc. This is my first real attempt to learn about my craft . I've been told I have a good (written ) voice. So here I am to learn and grow and maybe finish this project I've been working on.
