About Me

My photo
B-Optimistic
East Coast, Canada
WHO AM I? I am a 50'ish wannabe writer with a bucket full of words; an acrylic painter with a lean toward landscapes; a reader of nutrition and self-healing books who also enjoys true crime, forensic mysteries, and biographies; a music lover who used to sing on stage but never got over the stage fright; an orphan since “the best Mom ever” passed away in 1997; a wife since 1975, still married because I believe in working things out; a mother of two sons who have matured into wonderful human beings and make me very proud; and a Grammie to two amazing grandchildren (a boy and a girl) who light up my life. Life is good, even with cancer casting its shadow.
