My name is Carla, I am 48 married to a wonderful man who is a Pastor of a small church on Long Island. I first began to write in Nov. of 2004 following my mom's sudden illness and my own battle with Parkinsons. God has sustained me so much so that people don't even know I have the disease. I am grateful God has allowed us to build orphanages in India and also help here in America as well. I look forward to meeting all of you via your poems and stories! God bless you all!
