My mission is hope. I write because I love language, enjoy designing blog posts, and to offer a few moments of beauty, encouragement, and hope.

What are your biggest challenges?
Daily Prompt
My answer to this question would vary over years and decades. These last years are about growing older as well as I can. I follow a good health plan every day. Good progress, and I am grateful to many people. Blogs work well. We live in our home, and if I should need more care some day, my blogs will go with me! Wonderful to know.

How are you creative?
Daily Prompt
Creativity is a part of health for me, and the definition changes over time.
When I helped with my mother’s care, that was good creative work. When I arrange art and books – and this changes all the time – this is creativity. The kitchen and gardens. A kind note. We are all creative. Gifted and can grow.
I may not work the long hours as before, but blogs work very well for me. And so much room to grow. I write, reprint poems in new ways, try new ideas with post designs. I postponed work on a new book and trust the right time for different projects. So grateful and I look forward to each day and the new year. Thank you and blessings.

Daily Prompt
My life has needed to change a few times, because of health. I have needed to revise some goals, and live in a more simple and healthy way.
And it is good to see others grow where I used to offer my gifts.
Good to reflect always. Life can grow in many ways. I also learned to be flexible. I am here creating this post, by God’s grace over decades.
Blogs work so well for me, and I am grateful every day. Take good care. Many blessings!
