Biography I am Grendetta A. Dickerson, also known as Gwen Dickerson. I've been a sales professional of many fields, having spent four of my educational years in business colleges in Michigan and California. However, I've spent the last eleven years as the sole care provider for an ailing parent who passed away in October, 2003. Although years ago I took a course in creative writing, it has been only recently, during the last three years, that I began to write regularly. I have now developed a passion for writing and I am serious in my endeavor of expanding and refining my skills. I've had a long time fascination with mysticism, meditative and trance states. Also, with the mind/brain connection and neuroscientific findings. I love the "silent" times, those times of inner reflection and meditative journey, that set my spirit and thoughts soaring into realms of undescribable joy. These are healing, nourishing and creative times for me that are priceless. I'm also a hopeless romantic! I love music, art and nature's awesome beauty. I think I was born with, and still have, an over abundant supply of all the love, feel good, and bliss neurochemicals, and that my brain still continues to manufacture them in abundance. I hope it will continue to do so until my death. I try to infuse my writing with descriptive energy and passion, in order to entice my readers into greater awareness and appreciation of the ordinary and extra ordinary melodies of life. Yet, most of all, I write for my own satisfaction. I love the process of transformation, from emotion to thought, to pen! I write as I feel and my feelings are usually upbeat, intense and ageless. I'm determined to be on a spiritual quest of evolvement! Yet, I'm earthy, I'm materialistic, I'm carnal! I love the things that money can buy ... and the things that money can't buy! Words like, passion, honor, bliss and quest, quicken my heart, stir my emotions and fire my imagination. They excite and inspire me, perhaps, resulting from a time long ago when my honor was less than it should have been and when my only quest was the quest for average survival. Ah! I survived! I evolved! I hope I'm still evolving! My quest, now, is to be aware of, and to appreciate life's experiences, its beauty and its life forms. I see beauty everywhere, even in hidden places. But, I should not say "hidden" because so much beauty is not hidden, it is here and there, if we choose to see it. We readily see the ugliness, the pain, the misery. Why do we not also see the beauty? I do love life's beauty, and yet, I'm not afraid of death! When my time comes "to leave", I think I'd like to lie in my bed, on clean fragrant linens that smell like summer rain and lavender, curl up in the fetus position, put my thumb in my smiling mouth and let go, sleep away, saying, "Thank You God! It's been an awesome experience!" How wonderful it is to be a writer and express the passion of one's heart. I hope you enjoy reading my works as much as I enjoy writing them. Welcome to our experience!
