Who is Vikk Simmons

The traveler in me wants to pull up memories and share stories of trips in years past and a life lived in Texas. The dog lover in me wants to splash photos of my dogs across the page and tell you their stories. The reluctant caregiver who's on her third watch wants to share her stories but resists the urge and keeps the lines of privacy distinct. The daughter wants to talk of her elderly mother, their life shared and the impact of decisions that often result in a life put on hold. The overwhelmed caregiver and executrix wants to declare the ups and downs of having to keep two households, one--hers--in storage, while succumbing to living the eBay life. I ask you: Who is Vikk Simmons?

 In the end, I'm a writer. I think writing, I breathe writing, I live writing. A friend once said I "oozed writing." My life is at the keyboard, the music I make comes from the tapping and chuckling sounds it makes. I read, I write, I care, I share. My friendships are mostly virtual and my conversations occur in the moment when you and I connect through the written words that pour out of me and onto that strange thing called the Internet highway. I am Vikk Simmons and this is my corner lot.  

Yes, that's "virtual" not virtuous. Not that I can't be virtuous now and then but, seriously, we're talking about my online footprint here. Yes, I spend a lot of time at the computer. Sharing what I learn along the way has always been part of who I am, so it's not unexpected to find me developing blogs and fan pages to distribute whatever I find under the rocks along the way. I hope you're intrigued enough to check out my sites. Read, comment, and definitely "like" whenever appropriate. We can all use a little encouragement, yes?
