Book
So I wrote a book. It’s called: “I Write Because I Can, notes on grief, loss, and life.”
I’m still pinching myself because I’ve wanted to write a book since I was 23 years old and now I have after all these years. I actually started out trying to write a completely different kind of book, one that I’ll write someday soon, but this tiny book is what wanted to be written!
So you might be wondering why it has taken so long to finally write and publish a book?
In A Nutshell? Fear.
From childhood and into my adult life, I’ve lived with experiences that were deeply traumatizing and that trauma lived on inside me unattended. At my core, I never felt that I belonged to myself, or had the right to belong to myself or to live my life as it was meant to be lived.
One of the ways it manifested was that I couldn’t seem to land in my writing. I just could not understand why. I had so much to say, why couldn’t I get it out? What was keeping me from the page? When I understood that it was trauma that had interrupted my ability to be completely myself, I began the intensive, long, difficult work of healing. Among many things, one of the results is that I am now an author…and I am just getting started!
“I Write Because I Can” is available for purchase in e-book form and paperback at Amazon, Indigo, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Book Depository and Apple Books!

Why I Write – Friday June 4th/2021
Why I Write/June 4th, 2021 I write because I try to make sense of the world and sometimes I don’t know how. I write because today on my river walk the air was swollen with the scent of wild roses and rebel lilac bushes blooming defiantly amongst the tangled...
Why I Write
It allows me to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. It allows me to be brave on the page and then in life. It allows me to be real in what sometimes feels like an unreal world. It allows me to connect to what I feel or what I'm afraid to feel. It allows me...
2020 Is In The RearView Mirror, Now What?
I don’t know about you, but for me, 2020 was, in turn, bewildering, emotional, gut-wrenching, scary and thankfully dotted with peaceful, happy moments and deep growth. I don’t think anyone hasn’t been affected in some way by the events of this year, and I think most...
Waking Up
"Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing." Naomi Shihab Nye The other day I fell asleep while writing during a group writing practice on Zoom. As I wrote, sudden exhaustion overtook me, I began to nod off...
When Time Isn’t What It Used To Be
It's been quite a while since I've had a fixed schedule. One where I had to get up at a specific time and be someplace, be presentable, dress in regular clothes, and interact with people as a working person in the world, and I'm not talking about being in...
Daisy’s Gift
"It's too nice to bother with housework," my mother would announce with a smile. Settling cozily into her chair on the veranda, mid-morning sun spilling over her as she drank her second or third cup of tea. For as long as I remember, my mother worked, in first...
What can I tell you that you haven’t already heard?
At the start of this pandemic, which feels like a hundred years ago, there was lots of brave talk about how we are all in this together, how we were not doing this alone, we can get through it, etc. etc. I did some of that, too, right here on this blog. Cheerleading,...
Small Rant in the COVID Diary’s
It’s hard to write anything these days that’s not about COVID -19. There are other stories in the offing, waiting to be told, but somehow when I begin to write about anything else, the words slide right through my fingers the way sand does when you try and pick it up....
Blame & Shame – Let’s Not & Say We Didn’t…
I've written about three different blogs over the past few days and shelved all of them, which is why I'm so late in publishing. Nothing seemed right and maybe this won't be either, but it's going up anyway. I think we've collectively established the twilight zone...
More Covid-19 Thoughts
Life is pretty surreal right now as we adjust to this very different world that is emerging, I thought I'd share what I've discovered along the way so far. It might resonate and help you too. It's important to make sure I connect with family and friends, either by...
A Day In The Life Of The New Normal
A few days ago, we went to the grocery store. We showed up with hands hidden inside our blue disposable gloves we found at Rona, along with homemade wipes made from Pinesol and shop towels since the real ones are never in stock. Pete asked the usual, “Buggy or...
How To Let Go Of The “Shoulds”
“At some point, you have to let go of what you think should be happening and live in what is happening.” elephant journal People are always saying that either they have to let go or telling you that you need to let go. Letting go is a big thing these days, yet the...
Life Notes
1) In my opinion, and nobody is asking, but positivity doesn’t work, not for me anyway. Being real does. I’m learning to accept that whatever my feelings are, they are valid, which is to say, accepting, and acting on the feelings are two different things The good news...
A Small Big Kindness
I was struggling. I was on my way back from the laundromat; I had three huge garbage bags full of laundry, clothes, sheets, towels, lovely and clean. I felt like I was carrying bags of wet sand. I was hot and sweaty. I was feeling like a fool; I was upset. Why was I...
Thoughts On Love
Love. Without fail, the number one request in almost every reading I have ever given has to do with love. “Am I going to meet someone?” “Have I met the one?” ” What about relationships?” I’ve read hundreds of people over the years, and I promise you, it doesn’t matter...
Lately
Lately, I feel like I’ve been floating down a tepid stream of ambivalence. Dawdling along, picking at the edges of my life, reluctant to fully commit to a day, a task, a project. I want to watch movies and nap, read books, walk the dog and bake. (At this point baking...
Barbies and grassy notions…
When I was little, sometimes I’d stand on the bed in the spare room and peer out the window to inspect the ground below. The side of our house that was never used, the side, that for a time, became a fixation. There wasn’t much to see, a long strip of grass and the...
Thoughts On Not Knowing
I’m in the mall, its the first day of the fair. Everything was set up the night before flowers on the tables, new sign up sheets at the front table. We look good. I’ve had my morning coffee, a little something to eat, and I’m ready to go. Then it happens, just as my...
Why Winter Is A Good Thing
It is so cold where I am right now, that metal is snapping, frostbite can happen in a few minutes, cars won’t start, and as a city, we are praying that there won’t be a power outage due to an energy overload. Winter is demanding we slow it all down. Which is hard when...
Today Is The First Day
Maybe it's because I'm a person who lives a life deeply embedded in the inner world of the psyche, an extrasensory in perception kind of life (read intuitive). You can say I'm wired for a transmundane life. Transmundane, what a great word! I just discovered it and had...
