Through The Eyes of a Dreamer...

 I have always been a dreamer.  Even when I was a very small girl.  I remember lying on my back on our front lawn and, looking up at the clouds, I would dream of being able to fly up there in that vast expanse and sit on the very top of one of them.  I imagined that I saw many different shapes in those clouds...shapes like animals or people or castles in the sky.  I don't know where I got my imaginative power; I only know that it has been with me for a very long time.

I believe that is where my writing skills were born.  Making up stories and/or poems has been something I have dabbled at for decades.  Mostly, I do it for my own pleasure, but I have occasionally done it for publication.  I have several books of poems that some of my works have been published in and a very real recognition (to me, at least) by a Poetry Society.

I wrote a short story about the life of my father's adventure in the restaurant business in Santa Monica, California.  His restaurant was called "Pickle Bill's Barbecue," and so I titled my book, "Memories of a Pickle Kid."  It sold over 100 copies!

My husband and I are both retired now--Dean after 41 years as a Pharmacist, and I after 35 years as an ICU/ER/Flight Nurse.  We both needed something to fill all those empty hours in the day, so we have launched a new project called Healthy Sense Living.

Now, here I am, with my husband, putting together a Website that deals with products which enhance our five senses.  Let me explain.  The Website is called HealthySenseLiving.Com.  We search for products that are for sale on our site that are pleasing to what we SEE (Visual), what we HEAR (hearing), what we SMELL (Aromatherapy), what we FEEL (touch), and what we TASTE (through healthy eating).

Here is an excerpt from our "About Us" page:  "As two healthcare professionals with combined medical experience spanning 76 years, we have become more keenly aware of the benefits of preventative medicine regarding stress reduction for better health.

"We all, in our busy lives, need some 'settling down' time.  Settling down to what?  To your body, mind and spirit on this user friendly website in order to fulfill your needs in your healthier living environment."

Now, you might be asking, "What has all of this got to do with my imagination and writing?  Well, let me explain.  I believe that it takes imagination to venture out into any new project in life.  I have filled my cup with my writing; I have filled my soul with writing my stories and poems; now my husband and I are imagining something new and different.  Will we succeed?  We hope so.  But that is not the important part of this new adventure.  We want you to succeed.  We want you to find fulfillment through your five senses, just as we have throughout our life.

I am inviting you to visit our website and browse through the offerings there.  It is only the beginning, so come back often to see what we might have added to or taken away from the site.  We are hoping that through this new adventure we can bring some insight into your lives about what it feels like, smells like, looks like, sounds like, or tastes like to slow down a little and find peace to your soul through Healthy Sense Living.
