I recently took part in a 30 poems in 30 days group which I think is the best way to get you moving if you are trying to write regularly! Each day, a prompt is given to get you writing. It was your choice to use it or not so if you already had the…

The Preparation for Passing
My husband and I met with an attorney to put together our Living Trust. Both of us experienced issues after the death of our parents that made the grief of losing a loved one even more complicated. We are hoping to avoid some of that mess for our own kids and leave directions on our…
