A walking tour of life, recovery, becoming a better human being, loving friends and family, and dogs.

Nothing to say but this seems to say it all
"America is now wholly given over to a damned mob of scribbling women, and I should have no chance of success while the public taste is occupied with their trash – and should be ashamed of myself if I did succeed.”
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
I found this on The Junky's Wife blog and it cracked me up. Count me among the damned mob of scribbling women.
I am a performance poet and writer. In a former life I was probably a gypsy. I am content wherever I am because I have the rooms of the Fellowship. I have 31 years of recovery, had a liver transplant in 2005 and am currently writing a daily meditation book for recovering addicts and alcoholics. I have two German shepherds, a fantastic husband and a great life.

Love that quote. Until I read the attribution I assumed it was from some modern male pundit.
Of course, then I Googled it and found this:
