About the author

Rather than calling herself a writer, Doris prefers the term "folk-writer." Throughout her life, she has written for family, friends, newsletters, special occasions, and moments when words were needed most. Her poems and reflections have celebrated milestones, offered comfort during difficult times, and quietly encouraged others across many seasons of life.This collection marks the first time her work has been gathered into a single volume and shared with a broader audience.Doris lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she enjoys traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Long before this collection was published, the author's poems and reflections were shared with family, friends, and community members during life's celebrations, milestones, and moments of comfort. Here are a few of their reflections.

“…Her sweet poetry not only has soothed my spirit but has helped me in times of struggle and uncertainty to just BE STILL….” – Sherron Conway

“Doris is a literary force whose voice carries both power and grace. She writes with an orator’s command and a poet’s sensitivity, capturing the true essence of every person she honors in her work. A Renaissance woman grounded in deep faith, she pours love into her community, her church, her family, and her friends—and that love radiates through every line she pens. Her words encourage, uplift, and reveal truth with clarity and compassion. Those who encounter her writing will appreciate its beauty, its strength, and the unmistakable spirit of a woman who uses language to illuminate the hearts of others.” -Tammy Rose

“I have been informed and encouraged by your words since our time in Chicago back in the late '60s. … I'm eagerly awaiting the publication of your upcoming book that will share your precious words with a lot more folk!” - Nyala Joan Cooper, Clinical Psychologist

“One that especially touched me is 'Nobody is a Nobody' as it is a direct message of encouragement to not let what anyone else says about you impact you; you are God's creation and you should let it show. A good message for young people and anyone doubting themselves.” – Loraine Binion-Hardy
