Great Days good days and everything in between days
Blogs to Books~ Self publishing poetry prose and narratives into Words Thoughts and Chalk Dust
This will be my path written down to get from here to there ... I stepped away in December 2020 ... family issues take priority over anything else in my world, as I am sure it does in many of yours. With the effect of Covid taking our sons father's life .. he was my husband of 32 years and we remained friends and parents to our boys and along with other emotional and medical moments all happening at once ... I left to catch my sanity and my breath.
This was what I wrote as I closed the door here....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
Living, and suddenly a possibility of losing that life occurs, hoping that remaining alive with prayers and positive vibes will persist... sons praying for their Father.. sadness deepens along with words of inevitably.. yet with the inevitable there remains hope of survival.. listening to sons being strong, while hearing their angst and tears in between the lines, breaking a Mother's heart and soul. A time arrives when life becomes fragile; it can end as quickly as a blink of an eye or be fought with brute strength as he is not ready to let the illness win. Life... Live yours one day at a time.. for however much time we have, no one truly knows and there are no guarantees. So...Live your life, embrace every moment that you can to the fullest, for tomorrow it may be gone in the blink of an eye. Leave no regrets, and no tears for your children and loved ones to cry. ŠáŚk
i will be back when my eyes can see the light of day ... for now I am a Mother who has the broken heart and soul...my children, although grown into adulthood they will always be my children to me... are losing their Father and after almost 10 years apart, I find myself saying a sudden unexpected and soon to be permanent goodbye after 32 years and two incredible boys to men, together. We remained great friends and parents, best of all...âĽáŚ
On the day he passed away... so many lives felt the loss of a father, a brother, an uncle and a friend. He will be greatly missed

On 2/22/2022... it was time to return ... for so many reasons. It is part of the process of not excusing the past, as life is not a do-over.... it becomes living in the present and seeing where the door opens as time continues to go on... as I have learned....Life Goes On (quoting Robert Frost)
End of April to Mid May, 2022
"Determination to continue is always part of my journey"
Hurdles I couldn't jump.... Falling, I couldn't walk... I will become whole, again ŠkâĽáŚ
~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
A bit of a summary......not only did I say I was not going to let any hurdles get in my way by stopping me, I let it happen...Not the first fall which has been my nemesis of October 2018, November 2019 and September 2020... Seems I manage to be following the season of Fall ... for 3 years in a row...This one as I heal, I will do my best to continue my writing from bed, so the path will wait, the journey will be sedentary yet I will continue. Not to fall, but to write and get my book ready, as I still need a cover and the page from the Library of Congress and my ISBN ...before I can send in my manuscript. It has to be non-published before the rest can be completed. Like starting at the end to get to the beginning. Which that I will.
I want to thank all those that have stayed with me after receiving the latest blogs via email.. Sampling my work, I hope it is something you are enjoying and once my book comes out, after the edited copy is approved and typos caught via the editing (while I pray I can keep my fingers working and the keyboard in its place to help me) ... I hope my first self-published book is something that will interest you and that you will relate to. I have a line up of books to write, hopefully you will want to read each one!
Until next time, as my written journey continues, be well....stay safe... and keep on keeping it on. I truly love that you all are with me as you follow my website, you have no idea how much it means to me and why. It is my desire to share words with you, to have you think of the words and see if and how they relate to you and your life. I want to share a view of my world and let you take those words and see how they fit into your world, your days and nights ...
If you ever care to communicate in a considerate kind manner regarding my website (i stopped using communication in Tumblr due to many reasons, so I am never going through that again).... please feel free to do so. My email address for this website is sleepinsidemysoul@gmail.com and if you have questions or just want to see how things are going, or tell me about what you read, if you write, and about your dreams, goals, ideas and how you are doing during these tumultuous times in the 2020s and beyond.
Until next time, take care
âĽáŚ
As always,
Karyn
