The picture of me on this new Journal entry is from 2015, way before Covid, way before I suffered some family & personal losses, way before I sat in lock down for literally two years... but I'm still here!

12.27.22 “Bookendings” (Poetry, 2022)
As 2022 draws to a close, I reflect back upon the ways in which I have closed yet another chapter of my life with writing about the past and have moved on.

Here's to the future! There's a big new road ahead of us all. -BB #poetry #writing
