Let me start with honesty. I haven’t written a personal blog post since the final post on my previous blog, Second Memory, in January 2015. That post marked changes of my life in deep and profound ways with the loss of my late husband, Patrick, the previous day. With his death, life changed in immense and immeasurable ways, creating a distinctive line of demarcation of the before and after in my universe. Writing is one of those ways. While my professional writing carried on, my personal writing halted, stopped instantly in its tracks, and I’ve been slowly finding my way back in the days and years since. Starting anew here reflects a moment in time where I am presently, feeling that 6 years into life as a widow has had me taking many “next steps” in my “after” life. Some call it the next chapter, the next book, the next version of one’s self – all true, and yet I’m still the same me, just with more life lessons, more experience. Just changed. So here I go, taking the next step back into my writing. I’m looking forward to the journey.
