My name is Norma, aka Pen and Paper Mama. I'm married to Lionel, and we have 5 kids - Taryn, Sarah, Robyn, Wendy and Peter, and four grandchildren, Tony, William, Marcus, and Apollo - with three more on the way! Having recently lost my job due a company closure, I have decided to take the plunge, and really focus - professionally - on my passions! I love writing, tutoring, and facilitating Christian study groups. I'm an enthusiastic volunteer with Another Chance Street Ministry. And I also enjoy exercise, gardening, playing guitar, language learning, sketching, and a multitude of other interests - a "Jill of all trades."

I hope you will find some stimulating ideas here, and I'd love to hear your reactions and thoughts too... leave a note in the Guest Book, or Email Me.
