A Decade of Reflection: Why I Took a Writing Recess

It's been ten years since my last blog post. A lot has happened during this time. In March of 2016, I moved into my house and started a small backyard farm on a half-acre land. I also experienced some losses. In October 2019, I lost the love of my life to a heart attack, and on December 7th, 2023, I lost my 16-year-old cat while I was at a photography group at the local library. She had been my support through the ups and downs of the last 16 years, and her passing has left me with no one to help me through the pain.


In 2019, I started the blog www.ramblingoftype.com. What began as a newsletter typed on my Remington manual typewriter became an online blog. I wrote about what was happening at the 14-acre farm I lived on then.


I earned a degree in journalism last year, and as a hobby, I started learning to play the ukulele.
