Welcome, Irene! I am a writer/teacher/linguist, but in my early days, I was very much involved in the Arts as an entertainer. I grew up singing my lungs out; dancing my toes off and acting in any production I could get me teeth into. As one grows up – one is told, “you can’t do that forever, raise a family and eat at the same time…” Now, considerably wiser – I am reconsidering my thoughts on that.
