...Take Life in Both Hands and Run with It.

My grade nine English teacher, Mrs. Agnew, wrote that line in my end of school autograph book. (Yes, I’m that old.) And I kept the autograph book too. I have no idea why!

I’ve tried to live by that credo. Some decades I succeeded. Some, not so much.

The blog posts on this site will attempt to reflect some of those moments, along with glimpses of my writing journey.

You'll also find guest posts, on a variety of subjects, many written by family members. My large, close-knit family is why I became the person and writer I am today. I cannot imagine my life without them in it.
