Words With Meaning

I have always loved the way words can paint a picture and invoke emotion. That’s why I founded Creative Stories By Lesley: to show the reader, in my own unique voice, how I paint with words. These submissions are written to be a quick, but meaningful read, for the busy world in which we are living. I often use my home state of Florida as the backdrop of my articles, stories, and poetry, in hopes to provide thought provoking, and emotional pieces that resonate with the reader, enjoy!
