The weather sure is nice over here at @bluesky.

I’ll be over here talking about health, nature, writing, grief, with occasional dark humor.

My debut memoir MOM’S SEARCH FOR MEANING was released a few months ago. I’m proud of it. Hope you’ll give it a read. 🦋

Late this morning your first wife phoned, from where it is not raining: your three children huddled around, chirping, while the cat lapped milk from their cereal bowls.

Trauma and Shame: The Struggle Is Real | @JenniferKindera.bsky.social https://buff.ly/oc08tif
