• Art+Wine=Writing…

• Challenges…obstacles…and petite Syrah…(shit what have I got myself into?)

  I used to look at obstacles as awful. The worst. I am weak. I cannot do it. I’m not strong enough. The voice in my head…I’m too old. I hurt to much. I changed jobs for an easier life. What are they trying to do kill me? When a wrench is thrown I usually run…

• Change is inevitable…women can be change…joy is on the horizon.

  

  A few more days and my entire life is about to change. New job. New schedule. Freedom from debt…joy begins! After a decade in a job, I do well. I decided I wanted something more. For myself. For my family. To wake up each morning and be excited about a job again. After the joy…

  I was mostly absent last month due to my husband having major surgery. It was a scary, exhausting month. A lot of tears were shed. I was tested beyond normal limits. The fear of losing my husband gave me the strength to move forward even though I had no idea what I was doing. I…

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always…
