Welcome to Daily Jots: Quotes & The Thoughts I Have From “Outside the Box”

I have always been interested in quotes. They have such a succint way of summing up a principle, a thought, a dream, or teaching a lesson. It is a bit like looking at the display window of a large department store on Christmas Eve; you can see so much but you know there is even more inside. I suspect my interest in quotes began with my mother as she has collected quotes and bits of poetry since before I can remember. She knows how to use them too – at the right moment she can deliver the perfect quote pertinent to the situation and bam! Everything falls into place.

I have been writing professionally for about a decade now. In my “previous life,” I was a nurse but fortunately I also studied journalism and have had an interest in literature, both American and European. When I left nursing, I decided to just chase my own dream and stepped out on the proverbial limb and began writing for a living. There are days I can’t believe how fortunate I am and there are days I fight for every word. I write freelance for several publications, for a textbook publisher and have one book on the market about autism.

I define myself as a woman, a widow who was once a wife (and still is in some sort of spiritual sense), a mother, a daughter, and a friend. I enjoy reading, knitting, my cats, sewing, viola (I’m just a beginner though) and a myriad of other things that I never have enough time to do. I enjoy good music, ice cream, hot summer days, and snowy winter nights, and my favorite time of the year is autumn when the days are crisp and the memories are crisper.

I hope I can bring to you an interest in literature and ways to think about life through the quotes I find that interest me. I am sure this blog will evolve over time; a blog is merely a reflection of the individual writing it and people change, so it stands to reason that our blogs will change with us. I hope to inspire you, make you think about things differently, and touch your life in some way that makes for enjoyable reading.
