While reading different stories to my grandchildren I saw how much they responded to hearing and enjoying stories in rhyme, so decided to write for them. Seeing how much they enjoyed them and how Angels fascinated them and me, I decided to write for a larger audience with Angels becoming a focal point. I have had a long term love of writing in prose, sending handmade birthday and Christmas cards to family and friends in this format, and seeing the huge amount of enjoyment they received out of receiving a personalised card. I love to see people smile or laugh and if some of my poems achieve that, I get to smile too. Encouragement can be your smile. Let that encouragement be your daily goal. S. McCulloch.
