The death of my husband in January of 2018 took the wind out of my sails for quite some time. I lost all motivation to do anything, writing included, as I grieved his home going. Jerrie was a wonderful husband, who supported my writing and always encouraged me. His absence is still difficult to accept. I thought we would grow old together but heaven had other plans. The massive shift of my future stopped me cold. Finding my bearings and the desire to move forward took a lot of soul searching and courage.

When Jerrie passed away, the story line I was posting came to an abrupt stop. I left my readers hanging on a suspenseful note and likely wondering where I’d vanished to. My husband’s death and the accompanying, overwhelming sorrow rendered me incapable of continuing with my blog. I disappeared with good reason.

Recently, in the last few months, I gained the courage to get back to work, start writing again. I made a tentative start at first and have taken my time in preparing my heart to share my stories. I believe I am now ready to blog again. Writing is what I love to do and has always been my happy place. As I write, I am finding some joy in life again. I have found the process therapeutic. Hopefully, as you read my writings, you will enjoy the tales I put to pen and paper.
