First steps can be scary, exciting, daunting and fulfilling all at the same time. This small step is all that, and more, for me. After years of having people ask me why I’m not getting my writing “out there to be seen” I am taking the first step of starting a blog to share my thoughts through my love of the written word. The name of this blog is an homage to the teacher/mentor who most believed in my writing more than 30 years ago, Mr. Thomas Melchior. He called me the “Barrel Maker’s Daughter”–a reference to my maiden name, Cooper. For Mr. Melchior, and all others who have believed in me over the years, I am finally writing again! Here we go!!
