I am a retired full-time teacher, teaching part-time. I've been writing/journaling for the last twelve years. I've attended three Natalie Goldberg workshops, the last two being silent retreats.
I have written one book, Writing Toward the Light, after my only child committed suicide. A profound catharsis for me.
