Hidden in Childhood – Nascosto nell’infanzia

We’re almost there! I can feel February approaching. Every year I struggle through January, taking it one day at a time, trying to beat the blues that weigh heavily on me. Three more days to go…I can do this.

On a happier note the poetry anthology, which features two of my poems, is now available on most Amazon market places from the rather long link below. I’m told it has already reached number 4 on the best sellers list.

My two poems Kingdom of the Snow and When I was four are both memories from my childhood, one happy and one sad.

As we get older our childhood tiptoes back into our thoughts. Some days I can see the young me as clearly as I can see myself in the mirror.

I sit down and write every day. Mostly I work on my current book, but occasionally I’m drawn to poetry. Writing is a great release for me, and has been since since I was young.

My mum taught me to put on a brave face and hide my feelings. I tried, but felt much better when I allowed them to tumble from my brain in the form of a story.

We all find our way in life!

Have a lovely day everyone.

Good News on a Rainy Monday – Buone notizie in un lunedì piovoso

Rainy days and Mondays don’t always get me down!

As soon as the rain eased up I went for a walk. I don’t like being trapped indoors all day.

I got back home to a blazing fire (thanks to hubby), so I sat in my favourite red chair to work on my current book. Before immersing myself, I decided to check emails, and found the the nicest surprise waiting for me in my inbox. Literary Revelations, a New York Publishing House, are including one (or maybe two) of my poems in their poetry anthology Hidden in Childhood.

The anthology, due to be released at the end of January, is edited and curated by Gabriela Marie Milton. Gabriela is an Amazon bestselling poet and an internationally published author. She has many books to her name, including the #1 best-selling poetry collection Woman: Splendour and Sorrow: | Love Poems and Poetic Prose, and is the author of Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings. She edited and curated the anthology Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women.

If you follow my blog, you’ll know writing has been my passion since I was a teenager. My books, which are available on Amazon, have never made me rich, but always make me happy. To be recognised and published by someone else just warms my heart. I’m beyond thrilled.

My Birthday is next week, and not usually a day (for many reasons), that I enjoy. This year I’m going to celebrate.

I’m not just any old gal in her sixties…
