Taking It Easy

I'm easing back into life today, though my soul is still aching and I'm tired. But life carries on.

I know I will … Continue reading Taking It Easy

Faith Collages

I felt a little better today. I picked up, did some cleaning, got dinner going, and even wrote some poetry! My book is truly underway. I plan to self-publish next fall.

Weird

I've got laundry running. I made cookies. I mopped. I took out the recycling. Homemaking is in full swing here. I plan to scrub my bathtub, sweep, do a general pickup, and dust next. Then, I plan to read and write. Homemaking is my job and my love, but writing poetry is my passion. Followed … Continue reading Weird
