  <about><![CDATA[What does one say about one's self? I'm witty, charming, wise beyond my years...Okay, enough of that. All things I wish I could be, I'm probably not. But, I do love to write, to create. The process is a learning curve. Sometimes steep, sometimes not. Writing, photography, graphic arts. Those are my passions--after my family and friends. I've traveled and travailed in my journey in this world. I hope I have many more years left because the world is such a wonderful place--pain and all. Enjoy the journey.  ]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[God, life, family, friends. Good music. Sunsets, sunrises. Windstorms, clouds. Cats, dogs. Whatever God puts in my path. Pain is a major influence, too.]]></influences>    <hometown>Seattle</hometown>
