Seen in my travels through Wales. This is the royal observatory at Swansea. Yes I know it's small- but perhaps mighty, nonetheless. The 2 small hills in the background, at the mouth of the bay, may be the reason why the neighboring community of Mumbles got it's name.

How I Survived my Heart Attack- and yes, my symptoms weren’t typical One woman’s story.

Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing a heart attack, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest that we see in movies. One woman's story of survival. medium.com/the-pub/how-...

Remembering Robert H. Rimmer Pioneer of Polyamory

As I write this on the 24th anniversary of Robert H. Rimmer’s passing, it is hard to believe he has been gone that long. He was ever an inspiration to me.

I have been following the California volcano trail. This is Burney Falls, majestic and beautiful. A wonderful 2 mile walk through a vibrant forest gets you to the base of this year around Falls. I may set my next novel in a fictional setting here.
