Coming out
I’ve been in a self induced cocoon for many years. It began with the end of my marriage, then the pandemic, then primary caregiver for my dad, then the end of my relationship of my aunt, and so much more. Life handed me so many things that took me years…

New Year
As we move towards the end of 2024 and into 2025, this is always a time of reflection for me. Not only is it the end of a year – just 5 days later, I become another year older. This year’s holiday season was different. I usually decorate my house,…

The Beginning of My 64th Year

Happy 2024!
New beginnings… New year – how long will it take me to start writing 24 rather than 23 as a date? New goals/plans – how long will it take to forget everything I plan to do this year? New outlook?? New beginnings always start with other thing’s endings. A song…
