Although I don't write fiction, when I create an essay, article or poem, I know in my heart I am co-creating with God.

In my teens I wanted to pursue a career on the stage. I often played the lead role in our school plays and found it so liberating to be immersed in another character. My dad was an awesome amateur actor.

I never fulfilled that ambition - circumstances got in the way but I have no regrets in that regard - accept it wasn't meant to be.

Storytelling is a wonderful way to connect with all that is.
