I love summer in Maine. I take it for granted this is where I live, forgetting it is a place of vacation get-away for many. I don’t even travel far from home to suddenly be at a beautiful beach. Of course, the water is much colder than many would tolerate, but I don’t mind. I […]

Sharing the Path: Perimenopause and Writing
In my new endeavor to highlight the individual behind the words (here on this blog), I will not shy away from discussing all aspects of my life that impact the writer/author that I have become.
