Procrastination is one of my gigantic issues. I have difficulty finishing something because I want it to be perfect. Hence, the reason for waiting to introduce myself. What’s up with that anyway? Nothing will ever be perfect as a matter of fact I doubt there has ever been a perfect story written, maybe the Bible, though it is about imperfect people so it makes it imperfect in itself.

I’m Teresa Shields Parker. I was born writing. I can’t ever remember not being enamored with the written word. A journalism-religion major, I’ve worked for everything from the West Jr. High School Sword and Shield to weekly and daily newspaper, magazines and my own publications. I’ve published a book or two.

These days I’m writing articles mainly about real people living real lives going through real struggles intersecting with a real God. Interspersed in my blog are personal reflections and admissions of my own short-comings.

My goal is to put together books based on the numerous articles I’ve published various places. They won’t be perfect so I just need to get started. Correction, I will get started. Tomorrow.

Hi, I’m Amy… finally writing an intro : ) I’ve been enjoying the class so far but haven’t been involved in the forums yet.

I’m a singer-songwriter, community developer, and soon to be blogger(again). My new blog is about local social creativity and wholehearted living. Talk to you soon!
