"There is a Japanese word - kaizen - which means continuous self-improvement..." This word defines all that I have taken to heart and made a part of my existence in the past few years... ~Diane Anjoue
Although she hasn't been on a writing hiatus, her heart belongs to her love of words and languages always. Amidst the whirlwind of living life largely with her family, she always has time to daydream and write within her mind. It is when reality interrupts that the writings disappear like vanishing smoke on a cross breeze; leaving traces of an etching here, a watercolour there... a masterpiece just out of reach.
While Diane isn't writing, you can most likely find her cheering on her two baseball playing sons, her heroes. Every year is a step closer to great things for them and in that, she and her husband take great pride and honour.
~ "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J. B. Priestley (1894-1984)
