A diary-style post Whew! It’s been a week! June itself has whizzed by, creating a “what happened to that month” feeling. I decided to record what happened in a diary-style post today. Earlier this month On June 8th I flew to New York to see my Dad. Many of you read about that visit. I…
I’m off today to go visit my Dad in New York. He’s doing fine but I am taking advantage of being able to spend time with him as often as possible. My husband and I were there in April so it hasn’t been too long between our visits. We’ll go back together in August, again….
I wasn’t sure I’d get a post up for Poetry Friday this week. I leave on Sunday with my eldest son, aged 28, for a trip to California! We are going to visit Redwoods National Park! I am excited! My husband and pets will be staying home to work on our garage-building project – he’s…
Today is June 1st! Time seems to be flying! Last month, I ran a contest to get some of the readers who bought my poetry chapbook, Life’s Inspiration and Reflection in a Few Words (2022), to write an Amazon review for the book. If you don’t know, book reviews greatly enhance the saleability of a…

I’ve been weighing whether to participate in a daily poetry project this month. And while I have a lot on my plate already, I’d like to produce a poem a day this month. The writing of my poetry falls into a habit of writing couplets – and although I like the cadence, rhythm, and rhyme…
March has been a great month for my articles on Medium.com. After a very slow February where I barely made the partnership fee of $5.00 from my revenue, March ended up being very different – so far bringing in six times that amount – my highest income ever off the site. What was the difference…
Happy Poetry Friday to all participants in this welcoming and gracious community of poets! Today, I’ll review the other poetry book I was gifted from Sarah Grace Tuttle and also, one I received in the mail, entitled Feel The Beat by Marilyn Singer. I’m afraid I do not remember which blog or Twitter feed I…
I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the way Medium works. Most of my views and reads are external to the site which means a couple of things. What do I do now? Firstly, I am not shutting down either blog. If, in the next year, Medium does not improve for me, I’ll get out. I have…
