Thank you for your kind words. As for the memoir, I'm skirting around the edge. There is a lot of very dark stuff buried deep, that I know I must write, and much of it has been written in private. As for sharing with the world....my family is not ready for this. My elderly parents most definitely could not cope. However, the time will come.

I was astonished to read this. Like you I took the "open-toed" approach, leaving teaching to take a complete change of direction, and began painting again. I have never regretted it and, like you,after taking the same drugs, decided there must be another way . Very pleased to have discovered your writing here!
