My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I almost didn’t do this one as it seemed to me that funny answers were not possible for such information, but the minute I told Forgottenman I wasn’t going to do it, I felt a strong surge of competitive energy and started answering!!!!
