Maria Denison writes as a hobby. If she took it seriously, it would be work, then it would not be fun. She is an entrepreneur and business owner by day. At night, she puts on her creativity cape and writes. She lives…all over. East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast have been home. She resides with her husband, her daughter and her grandson, a standard poodle with anxiety issues named Levi. He is a big, blonde, beautiful furball that keeps them laughing despite his distress.
Ms. Denison was proud to say she had never listened to a podcast in her life. She did not blog, have a Pinterest board or belong to any clubs, virtual or otherwise. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Instead, she spends her days living, traveling, seeing friends, partying, shopping, reading, and watching her favorite shows. She knows that’s old school, but it’s a blast. She firmly believes, as the kids say these days, “You do you.”
With the launch of her first book, though, she will need to “work” and start doing all the social media and marketing she finds annoying. Maybe, she will enjoy it. Change is healthy.
It was important to me to write a story where the protagonist was a "well lived" woman. There really is something to be said about age and wisdom. I think back to so many times in my life when I would have handled a situation entirely differently, and what jumps into my mind is, "Youth is wasted on the young."

It was important to me to write a story where the protagonist was a "well lived" woman. There really is something to be said about age and wisdom. I think back to so many times in my life when I would have handled a situation entirely differently, and what jumps into my mind is, "Youth is wasted on the young."
I am also a huge fan of positive thinking. I admit it is not always easy, but so much more beneficial for your mind, body and soul. When that door slams in your face, sneak around and locate a window you can shimmy open. If you need to have a pity party for a moment, take it. But then, start searching for an opening. You may need a crowbar and some antidepressants, but I promise there is a way in or out. Stop, assess and implement.
Finally, my last thought for now. Like my characters in this series, "happy endings" are subjective. Fairy tales are not sustainable. The one truth I think we can all agree on. Life is complicated, but that doesn't make it unhappy. It's just...life. Live it. Love it. You only get one chance at it.

I am at a new point in my life I want to start blogging about. A journey many of you will most likely get to, or are experiencing. It's the moment when you have to start taking control of your elderly parents. When the child becomes the parent. It's heartbreaking, challenging, disappointing, frustrating and stressful.
My, now 87 yea
I am at a new point in my life I want to start blogging about. A journey many of you will most likely get to, or are experiencing. It's the moment when you have to start taking control of your elderly parents. When the child becomes the parent. It's heartbreaking, challenging, disappointing, frustrating and stressful.
My, now 87 year old, mother has moved in with me. Let's just say it's been a massive adjustment. I, innately, want to find humor in my new living arrangements. Humor has supported me most of my life. I'm having difficulty with it. Because of that, I want to start a forum to support those of us who are going through this pivotal moment in our lives. I want to find the funny in this. I want to laugh about my mother who doesn't think she needs to use soap anymore when she bathes, you know?
