Hi there, I've raised two daughters; one lives in Senegal with her two children, and the other lives several hours away. After a friendly divorce a few years ago, I now care for my elderly mother in her home. I teach pastry classes at our local community center and am working on my second novel. I love to walk and reflect on life. I have many friends, but I'm looking for deeper conversations on paper, and I crave the feeling of waiting for a letter to arrive in the mailbox, as we all did once. There's a lot to say about art of living during these times!
