Well, it is January 2, 2017 and I have decided that this will be the word of the year..."I/Me".

I have chosen these words because I have been so afraid of being myself that I landed myself in the hospital while visiting my sister and brother on the east coast for Christmas.

That, was by far, the scariest experience I have ever had and, if I can help it, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

To that end, this blog will become my space of change. Perhaps, if someone happens by they will gain a something to help them.

I am giving myself loving permission to be my artsy, crazy, creative self. There will be no more wearing of "shoes" that hurt my feet and my feelings that "I" have let other people force me to wear.

At age 69, there is much to me, a lot to me and I am going to let me be the "much" and "a lot." The road may get bumpy, but I am not falling. It is my aim not to leave this world without experiencing being simply, perfectly, and wholly happy 💓
