2024: ‘Be True to Your Own Act’

2024. I’m still in awe, quite frankly, that I made it here. (That’s me, last week, during a hike near Mt. Whitney). 2023 ranks among my least favorite years. What with it trying so ferociously, several times, to end me and all. You know: the multi-month exhausting COVID pneumonia that carried over from Thanksgiving 2022,...

Pamela’s Quotes

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
