Hi ya'll,

Thought I'd put a quick update up to my first WA intro decades ago (I'm exaggerating of course, but life needs drama sometimes, right?). Wait, maybe not - I've had a bit of an overload of it lately!

Leaving my rural country home with my goat critters and chickens to live within hootin' hollerin' distance to my neighbors here in YuppieTown has been a challenging life adjustment. Switching barn owls, coyotes and wolves for car horns, kids playing basketball in the street, sirens far and near, garbage trucks, and even a few loud and interesting domestic disturbances keep my ears 'on their toes.'

But I feel fortunate. My mind and heart just need to get used to the changes. Why couldn't I have been one of those older folks who lost their hearing years ago? Hmmmm??? A joke only, I'm really glad to be able to hear. It's my vision that succumbed to being ancient. Yet doing fine in that sense (pun intended! with my huge magnifying glass) and working on not just WA but writing projects as well. Even my major health issues are subsiding. Thank you, Lord.

Been writing a lot, like an 88 page novel with a little 'kink' thrown in (who would have ever guessed! The Club), several short stories, flash fiction, entering writing contests, and a cookbook, "Recipes from a Wheelchair" by a Disabled Woman Finding Independence In and Out of the Kitchen. Pen name: I. B. Shund. Self-publishing on Amazon for Kindle has made becoming an author amazingly simple. All these should be available soon - I'll keep you posted.

Six websites here at WA, and one off in cyberland - I can't seem to get here yet (still working on it), are also keeping me busy. I'm sort of the Jill of all Trades.

One of them, my Bipolar Butterfly blog has caused such a rift in our family it's amazing I'm still standing. I've taken down the offending posts (which I didn't feel were offensive at all, merely honest, truthful renditions of mental illness very close to home), but I'm giving some serious thought to growing a backbone - so they may reappear again.

This is a tough ol' gal and I'm still smiling, ear to ear, no matter what.

So hello to my friends I've had to neglect (not on purpose!) and I sure hope I can get back into the loop to help folks out when I can.

Kiss, kiss, hug, hug, as we say in our family when we can't physically do that.

Let's just pretend we can.
