It was during my tenure as an English teacher helping children learn to write, however, that I formulated the guiding principle of my work: We all have a voice, and we all have something to offer via the written word. To this day, some of the most influential writing I have had the pleasure to read was provided by my students, many of whom, like their teacher, did not initially realize they had so much to offer others. I am forever indebted to them for their inspiration. Lyrical Life springs like a fountain from their incredible minds.
