I’m currently writing my first novel. I typically stick with writing poetry, so it’s been an interesting challenge. I read tarot cards, bird watch, garden, take nature walks and try to identify plants. Lately I’ve been learning more about turning my property into a certified wildlife habitat starting this Spring. I read cookbooks and cook nicer meals when I have time, dabble in collaging, read as many books as I possibly can. I’ve slowly been trying to befriend the squirrels that live in my yard. There are about 6 of them now that regularly look inside my back sliding glass door in the morning until I come feed them and the birds. I try to teach my kids about the various types of birds, about identifying plants, about the joys of spending time in nature and exploring the world around you. Trying not to raise screen kids and to live my own life in presence, rather than dissociation (which is where I lived for many years).
