Julie Valin has always been a keen observer, which may be another way of saying she was shy. This became breaking ground for her enthusiasm for writing, and she has been writing practically her whole life. Sure, it may have started as sentimental rhyming poetry, but that formed the base of building her into an active poet today, always pursuing the next inspiring, yet simple, noteworthy thing.

Now she is a stay-at-home mom with a beautiful 2-year-old daughter who inspires her every day, yet also diverts her time from being a diligent poet! But being a Sagitarious, Julie retains her optimism easily.
