Bio
I don't make resolutions...it's a set up for failure. Someone very dear to me suggested choosing a word or mantra, if you will, as a goal. This year it is:FEARLESS. While I am mired in fearful situations, my greatest personal fear is the exposing of my writing to people. I am told I have talent & that I should work with it, share it, hone it. Trouble is that even when I know I've done something good, it magically changes to drivel the moment it leaves my hands and is shared with others. It is in keeping with fearlessness that I begin this blog...and fear that I set it free from my laptop & into the world.
I'm Brooklyn, NY born, one of many in a large Scot-Irish clan. We were our own community...if one or two relocated, almost everyone relocated to the same place. I have more cousins than most people can imagine & my socialization was within the family. I never realized this was different until a traumatic event within the circle of my parents, myself & my siblings, toreus from both maternal & paternal sides and , at 15, sent my formerly timid self out into the world on my own. It was the late 60's & what a time I had..once I adjusted. Until the past decade, most of my cousins and any other living relatives either wondered what became of me..or indulged in the family past time of rumors & dark suppositions. It was a bored eve on the internet that I happened upon a posting of one cousin, leading to another and so on.
I was happily re-united, discovered that I was not abandoned by other family & told the true tale...much more dramatic, interesting& "Gump"-like than the fabricated ones. This blog is at the encouragement of a few and to update the rest. It is not the truth or judgement of my life that I fear...it is that of my writing.
From Brooklyn, NY to Brooklyn (SE Portland) OR., here I am.
