Lately
May 9, 2021
Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. This is the amount of writing in 2021 which I have completed and submitted for publication with the exception of a reworked poem sent to Chicken Soup for the Soul. Chicken Soup does not send rejection letters, so, I will not know if my piece of work has been accepted until … More Lately
An EnDEERing Moment
March 24, 2021
We all live our life alone, in the midst of each other. Our paths may intertwine, but never blend into one. Only one life per path. … More An EnDEERing Moment

Random Thoughts/Irritations: On following your blog… If you do not allow me to click the “follow” button without requiring my email address, I will not follow your blog.

Crippled Hands Play No More
January 9, 2020
I was raised in a musical family. My father supported us through his accordion band and music school where I began piano lessons at the age of six years. Most of my years of practice were filled with tears. My hands didn’t seem to stretch far enough to play complicated chords. Quitting was not an … More Crippled Hands Play No More
A Writer’s Year in Review – 2019
December 29, 2019
In 2019, many of my author friends have made a collage snapshot of all the publications in which their writings have appeared during the year. Many of these pictorial displays are quite impressive and have caused me to explore my own, less than impressive, writing year. My year began with ghostwriting for several freelance writing … More A Writer’s Year in Review – 2019
The Unpainted Fingernail and Other Thoughts.. maybe
November 27, 2019
As a young lady, I was always self-conscious of my hands – especially when I played the piano. Rather than dainty, feminine hands that gracefully danced upon the piano’s keyboard, my hands looked like those of a field-hand. Protruding knuckles on the muscled-up fingers, these square hands have worked hard over the years – sewing … More The Unpainted Fingernail and Other Thoughts.. maybe
Summer 2019
August 24, 2019
I was reading Stephen King’s “On Writing” and one of his anecdotes had to do with the dreaded writing assignment, How I Spent My Summer. Stephen chose to break tradition and not assign the worn-out theme to his class. This started me thinking about how often, or not, I was assigned that theme. … More Summer 2019
Lonely in Accomplishment
August 22, 2019
Did you know? I cannot compete with those who have lived their lives “properly”. I came from a low-class environment. I was taught how useless my life was. I was beaten down. My spirit was broken. And then I became a rebel. I divorced. I ran away to start a new life. During that new … More Lonely in Accomplishment
My Geosentience
August 8, 2019
If I were wealthy, one of the first adjustments in my life would be to change my residence. I would buy a modest home in New Zealand and live there during fall and winter months – May through August. I would also buy a modest home in Alberta, Canada and … More My Geosentience
