I've been very candid re my difficulties getting paid work due to my health issues (mostly related to my Neurofibromatosis) as well as my malfunctioning computer, perhaps it's been TMI... However, at this moment, I'm thankful to report that in spite of al the snafus with my MAC, I was able to find a way to have an article published by "I love The Upper Westside."  It's about the dearly departed Maya Schaper. The piece is short so I hope you can take a look at it, dear reader ..read more

I am well aware that it has been over a year since my last post here on Blogger where I spoke about the fate of the Autumn clematis which at that time grew in my garden. I also stated, "However, given my new battle with Neurofibromatosis (NF) and the limitations this brings, it may be quite a while before I can tell my flora's stories. Plus I need to concentrate on raising awareness about NF which I hope to do through my book project, Imperfect Strangers." During this unintended hiatus from publishing posts on my blog, I have had one trauma after another non-stop, mostly related to my h ..read more

Welcome to my two hundred and thirtieth segement of Tuesdy's Truths.  I realize my last  post re this series was published on November 16th 2021, a little over two months ago and that particular post was published soon after I had an accident which resulted in my needing to have a surgical procedure known as Open Reduction/Internal Fixation Surgery. Upon discharge from that surgery I had to wear a pump for a couple of days... .... unfortunately something with the pump malfunctioned and I nearly died as a result. ... but I obviuosly did not as I'm still here today on this ..read more

Today, in the wee hours of Christmas Eve morning in NYC we probably had the most snow we will get for this year's holiday. Glad I got a glimpse of how it looked in my garden, which as you may know, is the setting for all my books that have Words In Our Beak in their title ..read more

It has been a number of weeks since I've posted content other than "news" re additions to my collections on FAA (Fine Art America) which is not typical for me. I truly detest promotion-based blog posts, yet recognize that it is a very necessary part of being a freelance writer and artist. Having said this, please allow me to bring you up to speed, which I’ve had on my to do list since mid November 2021, as I wanted to let my readers know I've had another life disruption... but thankfully one of the consequences has led to a true blessing bestowed on me by the B THE DIFFERENCE foundati ..read more
