Hello, everyone.

This is a message from Earl. He says to rise up, seize the day, and find whatever remnants of greatness can lift you up.

They build the walls. We find what’s left of the trees and climb right over.

This is Rocky. He was trying to blend in with the pillows and blankets. Worked hard on it all day, with dedication. Didn't quite have the ability of an chameleon, but never gave up on his dream. Be like Rocky.

When I walked into the kitchen this morning, spouse said, "I saved the most expensive Valentine's present for this morning."

And he handed me an egg.

We laughed hard, but it was the morbid laughter of dark times, and though I know that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us," but I really wish none of this were happening.

After nurturing this plant for the last 13 years, (acquired no higher than 30cm, it's now well over 2 metres tall) for the first time ever, it has flowered, producing 7 flowering spikes. This one opened this morning.
Many years ago I saw bird of paradise flowers blooming in the magnificent Kirstenbosch botanical gardens in Cape Town. I have coveted them ever since. It is bringing much joy and a touch of South African sun to the cold northern February

Personal News!

My books are in the Boston Public Library! From homelessness to published author, this journey taught me resilience & the power of kindness.

Thank you for believing in me, this story is ours. I'll keep paying it forward!

I didn’t finish writing my first book until I was 55. You’re never too old to try something new! #nevergiveup #followyourdreams #amwriting #adultfantasy #epicfantasy #indieauthor #fantasybooks #heirtothecrown #fantasybookrecs #writingcommunity #writerslife #bookstagram

Dogs. Never giving up since…well…always.

Goddamit.
I cannot watch "Pride" (2014) without sobbing.

A good part of it from the music. And the time.

I survived. The film reminds me of those who were around me, and with me, who did not.
