Hi! I'm Lefty; Thank you for joining me on my journey through life. Follow me on Ko-fi to learn even more about me. I've been successfully writing online since early 2000 in one way or another to help support myself and my family. I work from home in order to provide care for two adult children with medical issues; my parents, who are in their 80s and live on our property so that I can care better for them as they age; and my husband, who has been disabled for over 30 years. I'm also a certified home care aid. I cover a lot of issues, including youth mentoring, addiction recovery, parenting, childhood cancer, gardening, advocating for seniors, sustainability, farming, and an eclectic mix of other topics. I write to release the thoughts that hold my mind hostage, at night. I write to share my thoughts on overcoming adversity, sustainable living, and practicality. I write to give back to those who took the time to give to me in my journey through life.
