About the Book

You can read one page of Glimpses or the entire book and I personally guarantee that you will be touched. While Glimpses is divided into six parts, each piece of writing is complete in itself and in no particular order because life is in no particular order.

We begin our journey at birth and continue onward at death. Throughout my own personal journey, I have traveled familiar paths and paths not known. As each day of my journey ended, I knew that I was one day further along in my quest and one day better off than the day before.

I have sifted through a lifetime of memories and photographs for the stories, thoughts, and poetry that make up Glimpses. I’ve left a tiny piece of my soul between the pages along with the laughter and the tears. All of the people I talk about in this book touched me. In doing so, I took away a tiny fragment of their being and made it part of mine. I promise you that each story I tell and person I describe will remind you of a similar story and person in your own life.

The time will come when everyone will look back in time and wonder if their presence has made a difference in the world. Unlike George Bailey in the movie "It’s A Wonderful Life," we don’t know how our lives touch others.


About the Author

I’m a life-long resident of Texas and reside with my friend, Ann, and two cats, Katherine and Gian, in Garland, a suburb of the City of Dallas.

After graduation from high school in 1953, I entered the business world as a secretary. My career would span almost forty years, but never be satisfying.

In 1990, I decided to follow my own star. I resigned my position as a secretary. I had been making up stories since childhood and decided to fulfill my lifetime dream of becoming a writer. With no income and only faith in my Creators to back me, I started to write.

I consider myself a true success. In my life, I have never been alone, I have loved, and I am loved. We each choose what we absorb in life and what we throw away. We are not in a position to judge our own worth. We have no way of knowing the lives we touch.

I love the treasures I have gathered in my world. In life that which can’t be loved and give love has no value.
