jsburl is a hemorrhagic stroke survivor who lives in Northern NY. She has always loved her family, the mountains, dragons, kayaking, swimming, gardening, writing poetry and stories, oil painting, dragons, and animals large and small. Oh, and did I say dragons? She lives with the family dog, Tippy, and has just finished her master’s degree from Southern New Hampshire in Creative Writing. The stroke took her mobility, but not her creativity. Her favorite thing to tell people is “Make every day an extraordinary day.”
