• We Were Together.

    We Were Together.

    We were together. I forget the rest. -Walt Whitman   She lay awake. It was too early for sleep and her body knew that. Betraying her brain. She was bone tired. Turning off the television, she let the remote fall to the floor, thinking she would probably step on it in the morning. As she…

  • Peace

    Peace

    “I’m out!” she shouted from the doorway, as she hitched her massive handbag up on her shoulder, opened the door and pulled her sunglasses down from on top of her head. She heard grumbling goodbyes from her workmates as she closed the door behind her and she felt bad, for just a moment, about leaving…

  • What Have I Learned?

    What Have I Learned?

    I feel like I am constantly learning. Which is a very good thing. I recently transitioned careers and so I am learning something new almost every day. It’s tiring, for sure, but it’s also amazing and rewarding and inspiring. So today I’m tasked with writing a list of the things I’ve learned. First up, how…

  • Why Do I Write?

    Why Do I Write?

    Ultimately, I write in order to connect with people. I wouldn’t have said that a few years ago – I would have said that I write for myself or because I have to get the words out. But that’s not true. It’s not the driving force (well sometimes it is). The main driving force is…

    Oooh, Shiiiinyyyy!

    Distractions. What distracts you? That’s the question from The Daily Post this week. For me, it’s the sky. I can be walking from my bedroom to the kitchen or the bathroom and be stopped in my tracks by the view of the expanse of sky from my balcony doors. So out I go, no matter…
