Ms. Coletha
I am a fugitive of a destructive cult. I escaped in 1983 and have been breathing free, joyous air ever since!! I write based on observations and perceptions some of these are negative, some are positive but usually comical!! Most experiences make me howl with laughter which usually amazes Virgil (my ardent audience, poignant critic, and dedicated confidant) to no end...So while living and laughing in Seattle, Washington I write, I hope you enjoy my way with words. Please feel free to comment and if you have questions please contact me at yvettea3605@gmail.com.
