About Me

For nearly two decades, I’ve kept a writing practice in many forms—book reviews, memoir, genealogy, journals, and more. Writing is how I process life, discover what I think and feel, and make sense of my journey.

The year 2024 was one of the most challenging seasons of my life—almost ten months marked by pain, loss, and deep uncertainty. But even in that difficult time, small moments of hope and grace broke through, reminding me that delight can still be found amid the shadows.

Finding Delight is my space to explore those moments of joy, wonder, and resilience that appear in everyday life—whether the days are bright or heavy. It’s a place to embrace creativity not because it has to be perfect or productive, but simply because it feeds my soul.

This blog reflects where I am now: a senior navigating the ups and downs of life with honesty and hope, inviting others who might be seeking a little light in their own stories. Some posts are polished, others a little rough around the edges—but all come from a genuine place.

I’m a journaler at heart. Many posts begin as handwritten notes over morning coffee, later shaped and refined with the help of an AI writing partner. This collaboration surprises and delights me—it helps me find clarity and voice without replacing my own thoughts or feelings.

If you’ve ever felt silenced by fear, perfectionism, or life’s challenges, you’re not alone. Here, joy is a brave step forward.

Welcome. May we find delight in every season of life.
