I am Melissa, the writer behind Coddiwomple World: Wandering through this thing called life. I am a daughter and aunt, first and foremost, a lover of nature, cooking, animals, and caring for others. I am also an author, on occasion, and even a poet, when the mood strikes. I am an artist when I can be. I love to learn new things, and explore my local community when the timing is right. If you stick around long enough, you will know my interests are widespread and varied, and I will share them all as I navigate vaguely through this thing we call life.
