About Me


"...The nature of my business and the bend of my personality have made a friend out of the "necessity" of travel. I'm a writer, and a teller of the Wonder and beauty, of the Hope, Valor, Honor and honest determination that I've been fortunate enough to find and witness in those travels. And on those days when the tempo of travel wanes, the company of these memories, and the view from this, my home, my own front porch... give me rest and get me fit for the next adventure.I do not know if those of you, who have taken time out of your busy days to share in the wanderings of mine, have the treasure of a front porch, or of a view that fosters a crinkled smile and a calming heart rate (there were many a day when I did not). If not, I'll pray you do soon enough. And until then, stop in when you can... I'll share the sights-n-sounds-n-Southerly breezes from mine..."...an excerpt from my blog entry "From The Front Porch". It fairly well sums me up.CM Sackett
