Words have been a passion since childhood, when I wrote poetry, songs and neighborhood and classroom plays.  That interest led me to study journalism in college.  Although I spent many years as a newspaper journalist and in public relations, I feel like my life has come full circle.  I am returning to what I always wanted to do most — write for children.  My hope is to write books that are healing for children, particularly those with special needs.  This theme will be reflected throughout my blog.  I want my blog to be a resource for parents, grandparents and teachers who are searching for a special gem that will help a child through a tough time.  I love travel, the arts, classical music, opera, and musical theater.  I am spiritual and involved in many humanitarian projects.   My life experiences are varied and I have much to share with you.  My husband and I live in Ohio.  We have a large extended family, and have parented children with special needs.

Warmly,

Patricia Tilton
