Hello to all! My name is Sheila, and I'm in my 50's. I haven't been a writer very long, but my daughter convinced me that it is a great thing to be. I wrote my first poem at 53. I still want to be heard, and get at least one person to smile. I live in Indiana, I have 4 children. I have 3 grown, and one five year old I adopted. Thank you for coming to my port! Be sure to check out my very talented 19 year old. She knows what she's doing! missmanda812
