A word is dead

When it is said,

Some say.

I say it just

Begins to live

That day.



Emily Dickinson

Hello fellow writers!  Are you ready to become addicted to HubPages?  My hubber name is Ytsenoh, and yes, it might look like a foreign name, but it's not.  It's what you get from me in its backwards spelling. My birth name is Cathy--friends call me Cath for short.  I am dedicated to sending out the message of "you are what you think."

Having triumphed over spousal abuse, I began my adult career alternating between motherhood and racing in the legal environment for over 20 years. After spending seven years earning a journalism and writing degree in my 40's, I realized I had a compilation of non-fiction material everywhere, so deciding it needed to have a voice, I self-published my first book.  I work in a law firm by day, write at night, and make wedding cakes for a hobby.  Before losing my mother, she said to make sure I live.  And after having the experience of helping care for my father before we lost him, I am going to make sure I "live" every single day.  Don't be a statue.  Get on that swing, get your shoes wet in the rain, and you'll never know if french fries are good dipped in ice cream unless you try it!

Born into the service life of the Air Force in Louisiana, life has taken me to Idaho, Hawaii, Nebraska, South Dakota, and ultimately to the Midwest where my late father retired.  My passion is writing and has been since my early teen years. Why? Because almost everything in life is related to both positive and negative effects of language.  HubPages provides a place to be obsessive with the art of language.

I have been on my own for 16 years learning the value of being alone.  I have two grown children.  My son who is the oldest and has two beautiful daughters.  My daughter specializes in special education and recently obtained her Masters in Special Education.  She has extensive experience working with children who have autism. 

I applaud all of you who make the use of language into something artful, meaningful, useful, practical and productive.  And to all of you who use language as a method of expression, you create joy not only for yourself, but for readers as well.  So what are you waiting for?  My profile isn't as exciting as what you're about to write!
