Why me?
Why now?
I am learning how to write a memoir by responding to prompts in a program by Shari Caudron. My commitment to myself is to do this for fun and discovery.
I have no idea if these pieces will ever grow into a book. They are NOT carefully edited. They are NOT a work in progress. They are my reflections about this wonderous life journey.
When I understand why I am sharing them in this way, I will share that too. Welcome!
