More than five years ago (!), I wrote a blog, which ended up being my STATIC blog for that very long time frame as, my then 92-year-old mother, had started to fail and, several months later, passed away. I served as the executor of her personal estate and, just as that was coming to the end, I fell, breaking my arm and dislocated my shoulder. Next came the COVID crisis – and other assorted delicacies  – and here I am!  Still alive, although VERY behind on my work.  However, the good part of that ordeal, was spending so much time with my sweet pup, Lola!

I have finally been able to start getting back into my groove, reminding myself of login credentials, processes etc.  Like everything, life is a work in progress and I am at last progressing along once more.

Going through the loss of a parent, especially the second and final time, affected my mindset like nothing else. Like most “orphans,” my emotions rode a myriad of roller coaster arcs and surprises, and definitely changed my perspective on so many things.  But like everything else in life, a debit is a credit and experiences allow for growth and new realizations. I am in the process of using my newfound perspective in creative endeavors.  More information on that will be forthcoming.
