Last year, as they say in birding, I had a “big year!” But after the loss of my sweet dog, and other family health matters, it was time step away from my writing, and focus on a little self-care.

I’m happy to be returning to my calling now: this writing life. I hope good things will emerge. Thank you as always for so kindly reading me. 🩵
