Just a poet/writer finding her voice after many many years hiding it. I’m not sure why I hid. I certainly never concealed my love of photography. In fact, it was easy to say “I’m a weekend photographer!” and happily share my photos with everyone. But, writing down my thoughts? Or worse, sharing what I’d written? Yikes, no way.
And yet, crazily, I started this blog. Believe me, it felt like I was filleting myself open for anyone to stare and laugh at. I’m glad I did it, though, because this is my debriefing room. The things I saw, thought, and felt in the million years I didn’t write had been roiling in my brain with no outlet. I wasn’t in a happy place. But, to be truthful, I saw many decidedly unhappy things. Cutting myself off from my egress (writing) was probably not a good idea, though.
So, here I am. Here we are. Thanks for visiting and sharing my journey. I won’t say, “Relax and enjoy,” because the ride’s probably going to be bumpy and uncomfortable for us both (at first!).

You write beautifully and there is so much natural expression in your work. The flow of the narrative through your posts is effortless! Looking forward to enjoying more of your writing.

Thank you so much, Lita! I think maybe it’s because I love photography; I made a promise to myself that whatever words I put to paper will be used to paint a picture in prose. Some days, it’s INCREDIBLY frustrating!

This really chimes with me. Although poetry isn’t my medium, I feel the same way about writing. And photography. Funny how pictures just seem easier to share than words isn’t it?!
Lovely blog. Keep doing what you are doing!

To quote you, “taking photos makes me much happier than being in them.” 🙂
