For a number of years Pat had planned her "Life Lived In Poetry" book to be her tenth book to publish, but she was awakened with the thought she should publish her "Holiday Celebrations and Much More" for her tenth book. Consequently, the "Life Lived In Poetry" book became her eleventh book to publish. Pat started writing poems over forty-five years ago. Poems just started coming into her head all times of the day and night. Some poems Pat has written in ten or fifteen minutes. The thoughts just flow out of her. Pat has written over eighteen hundred poems. At age ninety-five, Pat's goal is to get her poems out of her computer into books, so they will not be lost and gone forever when she passes away.
