Blu's Bio: 

Blu Jewel is a 47 year old multi-talented and multi-faceted mother and Configuration Management Analyst, who uses words to express; release; inspire; encourage and to learn.

I’m pretty easy going; what you see is what you get, and I don’t have time for pretense or bullsh*t; it’s too damn taxing and depletes the authenticity of being myself. I’ve wasted too much time living an unauthentic life, almost three decades of which I self-injured. I’m currently about 10 years in recovery from Self-Injury.Aside from writing, I love to travel, cook, and spend time with family and friends. I’d rather be active than idle and tend to make the most out of whatever life throws at me. I live to love and love to live; there’s not much more reward for being alive than that.
