I wrote this collection of essays, poems and stories, all short reads, to encourage myself and people of all ages to find a way through life's challenges! So sit back and let these words whimsically weave courage, forgiveness, gratitude, caring, kindness and self-love into a cozy cushion for your heart. Read them yourself, to your aging parents or grandchildren. We all need help to offset yearning, doubt, injustice, loneliness, fear, and all the dark emotions that haunt us when life goes wrong. Reread as needed, so you can gracefully navigate your perfectly imperfect life, because the world loves and needs you❣️
