It feels like forever...I write to understand my world and myself. I write to express thoughts and feelings. And, I write because I must. Today I came back to my blog and wrote a new post. It had seemed like a year since I last wrote for it, but, upon my return, I found it … Continue reading Daily writing prompt: What have you been putting off doing? Why?

Finding My Writing Life
I have always found my way through tough times by writing. Sometimes my thoughts would clarify in the act, sometimes I recorded events in the act of preserving my life or in describing what I saw, and sometimes my writing was for others. This blog started several years ago to chronicle my recovery from my … Continue reading Finding My Writing Life
New Directions
I did a first for me this year. I planned and completed a five week trip to Scotland. It was the first overseas trip ever for me, and, although I did most of the planning, I did use AAA for some parts of it. It was a great experience that will take me quite a … Continue reading New Directions
Dreams
Sometimes I dream stories. Usually they are a continuation or a solving of an issue in a book that I was reading prior to bedtime. Sometimes I dream about my life...although that is seldom.

Or I could have been practicing my stance. For this picture it was … Continue reading Wonders and delights

And, one thing that I have learned this year is that my hobbies/interests seldom get the priority that they need for me to ever move beyond beginner … Continue reading Challenges
A new direction
I am not a person who makes waves or who joins in protests. I am the quiet one at home who feels that her voice is too small to count, who wishes she were more brave, and yet never declares herself out loud. I admire those people. The brave ones who risk jail or criticism … Continue reading A new direction
2023 Resolutions: Community
This is not the best picture that I have made, but it does represent people gathering and me being right there in the mix. Thus, a representation of me out in the community. Under the goal for community, I had interacting with others (which included outings with friends and volunteering) and ecology. Interacting with others: … Continue reading 2023 Resolutions: Community
