About Ellen

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 HomeMourning Sickness, It’s About Time, and others). My personal essays have appeared in Tangled LocksMedical Literary MessengerThe Sunlight PressBREVITY’s Nonfiction BlogWisconsin ReviewMothers Always Write, and elsewhere.

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

  2. Thanks so much, Ellen 🙂 I’m hoping I’ll launch them (2) some time within the coming weeks. Certain ducks have to be in a row first! I hope they’re worth following. I’ll be putting out a 1-time DM to twitter followers and notifying when I do, hoping people will stop by. That’s why I put up the “follow pre-launch” suggestion ’cause anyone who’s following before hand will automatically know when the sites go LIVE. Hope to see you there, too 🙂

  3. Glad to have discovered you ladies (through Patrick’s blog) 🙂 I haven’t been able to keep up with the many blogs I follow (catching up on life instead), but am hoping I can get back to it soon. Looks like there’s some valuable posts here 😀

    • Thank you so much! As I read through thr comments on Patrick’s blog, I thought you added a valuable perspective. And, I’m behind on reading blogs, too, but I looking forward to seeing yours.
