I began blogging long ago when my focus was on horses, and my getting a horse again after a 40 year haitus without one. (I ended up with three.) I wrote a book, It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious--that is literal and figurative--stay on, be conscious, I loved my time with the horses, and grieve bitterly that I no longer have them. Velvet and Sierra, my sweet fillies, I hope they are fine and living a good life. Duchess is running free in the Happy Hunting Ground. My blog, "Life's Twists and Turns," morphed into writting about our move from Oregon to the Big Island of Hawaii. Wow, you never know do you how things will turn out do you?! Now we are back on the mainland and live in Southern California--our old stomping ground, for 30 years ago, we also lived in Southern California. I have chosen writing as my job, or it chose me, or I'm just plain crazy and continue to beat myself in the head. Anyway, I and have a couple of books in progress. One is "Life Beyond the Horizon, Secrets from the Big Island." The other is "Letters, A Mother's Secret, a Daughter's Secret." Hawaii was a hit, and something akin to an EST experience. Mother's letters were written by her and answered by me. They were written in the years between 1957 and 1967 about adopting 3 Korean youngsters, and how she loved them and moved heaven and earth to get them. I tell of the sexual molestation that ensued. More secrets, but worth the telling. Wish on a White Horse--I do that every time I see one head bent to grass, tail swishing in a pasture, or performing such as in Calvalia--oh, how wonderful is that! White Orchids? Now doesn't that make you think of Hawaii? Swaying palms, tropical breezes, and the ocean water silky and warm as a jetted tub.
