Dear Friends,

I have just signed up for another year to keep my website online. I feel that this will be the last year unless something changes. It is not cheap, although what I write is free for you to read.

We know each other well; I feel that I was born to be a writer. At first I wanted to be a comedy writer, as you all know. But after my daughter’s death, that changed. It would be a while before I begin to write online.

My old blog is gone forever and I will always regret letting it go. The one I have now is barely there and I use it to post these notes to you all.

I still have a lot to say, which is a good thing. I have developed a certain voice, which is very personal about impersonal teachings!

I let it all hang out when I sit down at the Mac to type an essay. Some are better than others and this year I will be looking back on some of my better ones.

Right now I am in the middle of a yearly physical and a couple of visits to specialists. Overall I am in good health outside of the neurological issues. These reinforce my need for quietude. I find by sitting quietly I always feel better.

I would love to hear from all of you that look forward to what I write. Some of you I have come to know, but a lot of you remain invisible and that’s okay. The internet can be used for all kinds of things.

I am good at seeing through the conventions we all have to follow and my writing sometimes reflects that. The true path is individual and lonely. It takes a lifetime to even make a dent in one’s own particular failings. Just ask my son!

I like to write down to the bone. Be advised (giggle).

Love,
Vicki Woodyard
