Carol Desjarlais, is a retired teacher, from Alberta, Canada, who retrieved troubled youth for twenty-three years, is a counselor, a soul seeker, the mother of seven and a sister of the earth.

She writes for no other reason than to express how the world has affected, and affects, her. She has always been a writer. Her soul has had need of expression.

The road of life is fraught with incidents of 'awe, aw, and ah'!  That she might share her reactions and reflections to these moments with others, is an honor she holds sacred.

 I write for no other reason, but for this . . . that others may know that I have not lived this life as if in a dream – Richard Hooker
