Connie was raised in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Southern WV. She learned to love the beauty of God's creation and the love of being in nature early in life. Being the only daughter of a farmer, who instilled a hardworking ethic in her and her 3 brothers, many hours were devoted to the family farm where she developed an extreme love for kids, animal and "old folk". Of these she was always ready to be a champion to defend their honor however she could. To her great surprise, she found a love of capturing pictures of seasons, sunsets, and the beauty of nature later in her life and much to her satisfaction and delight, started penning thoughts to paper. It is her desire for the reader to find themselves somewhere in their own seasons of life in these thoughts put to pen. May God add his blessing to each one who is gently finding their way....
