Switched from Duo to Babbel after 18 months, don't know if it's just the change, but I'm liking it much better.

Even though in my twenties I was battling bulimia and near poverty, hearing the right song from that era brings back all the joyful parts like living on my own in a home place, being in love, and having your whole life ahead of you. The power of music!

Aww. I hope the word therapy continues.💜

Get this! #newrelease #horror

Inspecting the first proof of my new book. What you think kitty cat? Me, I'm still out on the ground wood/eggshell paper from Ingram Spark. #indieauthor #cosyhorror

That's one for the records.

Cacti. It makes a point.

Six years of sentiment turned to ash. In downsizing and not wanting to leave too much behind, I burned the stacks letters V and I wrote to each other while dating long distance in the days before email and easy phone calls! Hard to say goodbye to the proof 40+ years later.

TODAY! It's not too late!

That's right!!! Just try!

You'll just have to do more projects 😜
