One gets too busy on projects and forgets that communicating thoughts, especially those that transcend every duties, leaves a big hole in our process of living. In the past year, I have had the fortune to meet new creative people in my community. Part of that has been through dance classes–Zumba Gold and NIA. The rec center in my town has also been sponsoring writing classes with a successful novelist, A. Manette Ansay, who moved into the development behind us.

To set the scene, my husband and I live on six acres almost a mile out of town. Now that we are “retired,” it gives us time to connect with the land and the creatures we share the land with. I have remained politically active, but I have been discovering decades of unpublished poetry that I have written. There are a couple of unfinished novels, but they are for later

So Dragonflywords LLC is my new little company, and the first volume of poetry has been self-published by Amazon. Look for Ah, Where the Light Shines Through on Amazon.com. It is the first of four volumes that will come out slowly over the next year.
