It seems that throughout Judy Allen’s life the written word has ranked up there with breathing and taking nourishment. She cannot remember a time when she did not read. She has always written journals and small stories. She has expressed herself with words, art and photography and finds pleasure in creativity as she goes through her ordinary life. Perhaps no life is "ordinary" but rather filled with stories and adventures that are often missed. Judy Allen’s attitude for each day, when she drinks her cup of coffee, and tries to wake up, comes from three little words. She can say "Good God morning!" or Good Morning God!" Amazing the difference that makes.
Judy Allen is the author of two books about Our Millie, a young girl growing up in Appalachia. She enjoys sharing a variety of stories and musings on FaceBook. You can also find her writing online.
