My intention has been to track my efforts to publish my now completed book, GONE MISSING. Something always comes up to distract me, it seems. At the moment, it’s the 2 week or so wait for my first grandchild to arrive. I am loving the build up to her entrance on the world scene. The closeness of our family awes me.
Another distraction is my desire to write about spiritual matters. Much as I love the characters in my novel, I love even more what is real in my life. Because I am not one of those people who are in your face God-wise, I am hesitant to put out there what I’ve learned. Is it possible my spiritual journey would help anybody else? Would I cheapen it by setting it down in language? All these years of writing have taught me that it is nearly impossible–no, it is fully impossible, to describe the ineffable. Good writers use metaphor to do it. Am I up to the task?
My daughter sewed a kitty for me for my birthday. I call her Alice.
To all the world, I wish a happy new year. Special blessings to those who know we don’t have to keep doing things the same way; we can do them better, and it’s not as hard as we imagine.

I didn’t realize that the baby was due so soon. How exciting!
I look forward to reading about your spiritual journey, if you do find you are up to it.
