I am an essayist, poet and photographer. 

I try to be a voice against injustice, as I perceive it.  I am forgiven &amp; grateful. I am an alcoholic, sober since July 2008 by the grace of God.  I am a mother of four.  I write about my own faith &amp; (dis)belief, for voiceless people, against injustice and abuse of power, and sometimes politics.  And threaded through my experiences is the fact that I am a mother and a woman. 

I am always mindful of Abraham Lincoln's words: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
