I’m always trying to understand the events of my life and searching for truths that touch others. The wish to connect is what inspires me to blog.

My topics include family relationships, observations about American culture, transitions associated with retirement and growing older, and the writing life.

My short memoirs have been published in anthologies (The Heart of Us, The Heart of All That Is: Reflections on Home, Mourning Sickness, It’s About Time, and others). My personal essays have appeared in Tangled Locks, Medical Literary Messenger, The Sunlight Press, BREVITY’s Nonfiction Blog, Wisconsin Review, Mothers Always Write, and elsewhere.

I hope you’ll enjoy my posts—please let me know what you think!
