What would you title the chapters of your autobiography?
My work is here, with blogs. I do not have the goal of a memoir, but the large print chapbook that Karl and I created from posts at Quiet Christmas Poetry in 2014 continues to reach readers.
The Quiet Christmas Poetry site is a free version of our book. We donated copies to libraries and other places. Karl’s winter Lake Michigan photo is the Cover Art.

What’s a lie you tell yourself?
Bloganuary Prompt for January 23, 2023
I have read many books about creative work. As with bloganuary, there is encouragement to be creative and then confidence grows. I often say that my blogs are informal, because that means this is a place to practice and grow. Reading is important, and rest as well. Health first. I can see different creative chapters here over the years. Grateful every day. Thank you.

The Psalms have been with me for as long as I can remember. I wrote the acrostic in 2010.
When I write posts that review work over a long time – for example, my post yesterday for the Daily Prompt – it is an encouragement to see creativity over time.
Times I have been unable to write I was still growing as a writer. And someone may have been reading a poem from years ago.
the years
that were so hard
and yet
they gave me
my stories
gifts of silence
and beauty
in the middle
of difficult times
unconditional love
are the stronger
memories now
The seasons are an inspiration.
