Elaine
l was born and raised in Texas. I have a daughter and 2 sons who are the loves of my life. In addition to writing, I also enjoy photography, capturing in pictures those emotions which I cannot put into words. I see writing and photography as extensions of myself -- a part of me that I enjoy sharing with others.
FAVORITE QUOTES: "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul: that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds." Noah Calhoun- (The Notebook)
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threatening the life it belongs to... Anna Nalick - Breathe
...Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free. Maya Angelou - Touched by an Angel
