About Me


Yes, I'm 'monkEE' (nickname) and a little bit of "sugar and spice.." aww shucks... sometimes. "Snips and snails and puppy dogs tails"...oh yes...esp. the puppy dogs! THAT's me. Prone to makin' a million mistakes, forgives easily and has NOT forgotten that being a human being, you learn a lot from those mistakes. I'm a poet, classically trained pianist, composer, writer,was a ballerina a long time ago (still have a ballerina's heart), mother to many and have no children. A nurse by trade; a loving wife and friend to many; however a master of none. So who is "monkEE" and why 'monkEE' ? An old spirit with a young heart and dreams that taste of chocolate...that's monkEE.
