About lifelessons

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.

        It is an Yiddish word which means ‘nothing’ or ‘next to nothing,’ e.g. “They pay me bupkes for this backbreaking work.” Originally, it came from ‘bub,’ which means a goat or sheep turd; in plural, ‘bubkes.’ Literally, ‘bupkes’ means something as valuable, as a goat’s doo-doo.
