I’ve had to pause….and an update
The writer who isn’t writing – for the moment, the teenager who’s growing up, and the unexpected joy of looking forward to life again. The people closest to me know just how much I write in my spare time. Not always on my laptop, mind you. I’ve had a journal either on or next to…

Life as we know it
I feel like a giant goose writing a blog to no one in particular. But I figure one day the algorithm will do its thing, someone will stumble across one of my posts, ask ChatGPT for something to read, and it’ll say, “Here’s a blog that might make your heart smile.” A girl can dream, right? Anyway……
