A Portrait of Elyse: Through the Eyes of Her Grandaughter

I fell in love with words when I was a little girl, and dreamed of being an author.  As I grew older I realized I needed experience in order to make my writing interesting.  I put the idea of writing aside for awhile and experienced the joys of living.  I spent 4 years in the United States Air Force, 2 years as a flight attendant, and countless others jobs from being a maid to spending 24 years in the telecommunication industry.  Life experience I have gained and it’s been great traveling the world interacting with people in many walks of life.  At 61 I am ready to pursue the dream I have carried with me for most of my life.  The saying that “it is not the destination, but the journey that counts”, is a true statement, and in my case the journey is not over yet, but so far has been fantastic.  The rest of my life I hope to enjoy as an author.
