About Me
I was born in Ft. Worth Texas and I describe myself as a free spirit, at least I try to be. I held a byline in a small newspaper in Denton, TX, have been published in many anthologies, magazines and have two books of poetry published. I currently work as Chief Administrative Officer at Inner Child Inc and wear many hats — From Managing Director at Inner Child Radio, to assisting Williams S. Peters Sr. in the publishing Industry at Inner Child Press. I love my work.
I have done volunteer work for the mentally challenged and am an advocate for others. I worked full-time for over 20 years in the optical field, fitting eye glasses and contact lenses. I am also a certified optician in the state of Texas and hold the American Board of Opticianry Degree. I have two great children, Michael and Summer, a wonderful son-in-law Nate, and my precious daughter-in-law Sarah. I am blessed to have three Grandchildren, Natalie, Jeremiah and Abby.
These wonderful souls are my true loves. My poems are birthed through life and my dreams. May the muse forever speak to me. Send a note to me for a signed copy of my book 5 Degrees to Separation. My second book, “passages” is available now.
Blessings of love and peace,
Janet Caldwell
