Change, like autumn leaves come raining down on me. Leaves changing in colour responding to Season's challenge. My thoughts on challenges and change in my life. We face change from the minute we are birthed into this world. At first we aren’t aware of what or how change affects us but by the time we … Continue reading Change is All Around Us

An Explanation: to Revise and Update my Blog.
Now that I close one chapter (living in South Africa) and open the next (living in Scotland) I decided to update my About Page to being a bit more personal and up to date with who I am. I will also be taking some older posts down as they are part of unfinished series that no longer reflects who I am...
How am I doing?
I hope you are well. You might be wondering how I am doing, so I will tell you. I am so over this air-boot thing that I have to wear for my ankle! I can't wait for next Monday. Counting the days. Not that I won't still wear it but that is when I start … Continue reading How am I doing?
A Longing to Answer the Call within Us
This is a little metaphoric story of a longing for meaning or purpose. I wrote it for a group of writing friends last week.

I Love Life.
I have written about growing older recently, here at My Aging Autumn Years , but that doesn't mean that we feel old or feel sad about getting older.

I had not, originally imagined that others would read my blog posts. At that point in time I … Continue reading +500 Followers

What started out, at first, I thought as a private affair with writing and myself became a very public affair with readers over the four years from … Continue reading 4 Year Anniversary Achievement

I feel out of sorts today. Not with my life or my creativity but with blogging. I think I am having a moment of questioning “what is blogging all about”? you have this too? don't you? One of my aims is to practice my craft of writing; to be a better word smith, so to … Continue reading Honestly Grumpy

To stay stuck or launch.
Flags by W.C. Armstrong and Morag Armstrong (Noffke) 1968 The days before pre-writing. I remember wanting to write before I had learned how. This didn't stop me; that's the black squiggles you can see. "Can you read what I wrote?" I would ask my dad and of course he would make up some deliciously wild … Continue reading To stay stuck or launch.
