I'm constantly amazed at how much a person can revel in the anonymity of the internet. It's like a place were you can yell your darkest secret from the roof tops and be relatively certain that it will NEVER come back to haunt you. A world where you can live life as yourself...or as one of your many selves...or as somebody else.
Scary.
It comes with its threats, as well as its advantages and so here I am. Nobody. Telling anybody who listen just who I am.

There's a million stories I could tell, but I'll leave them between the lines of my poetry for now and wait for a day when I have more courage.


So this...is me:


It's almost funny. After so many years of being me, I hardly know what to write about myself anymore. It's seems sometimes that I'm living always in the dreams that I had when I was kid - who me? In love? Married? But I suppose often God is better to us that we can ever expect...or ever have enough thanks for.

For those of you who have been wondering for sometime whatever happened to that little art student at Hillsdale College - I did graduate (finally) in May of 2000 with honors, no less. The following fall, I married a sweet, wonderful (albeit morose) poet named Matt. He's in everyway my opposite: quiet, thoughtful and reserved where I've always been loud, carefree and outgoing. In the important things, we are of the same soul and I can honestly say there is no greater joy on this earth than marrying your best friend.

Well, life and art goes on. This coming August, Matt and I will pack up all our worldy possessions and journey to Dallas, Texas where we will both be attending grad school at the University of Dallas. (Matt = a PhD is Literature, Me = a MFA in Painting) It will be a big transition for us "yanks" but God knows what the future holds...and I can't wait.

As always and ever, God bless and my mailbox is eternally open,

GRACE
