Elizabeth A. Havey has always been a writer, one who likes to change things up—first becoming an English teacher, then a maternity nurse and forever a mom and wife. She writes about human emotions and foibles, how they ravage memory, call out for forgiveness. She always knew she would write a novel, learning over years what that meant and what she needed to do—read like crazy, write constantly and never give up.

A New Year…And Losing a Friend

A New Year...Losing a Friend As a writer, you need someone in your back pocket, someone to encourage you, remind you to keep going, even though you have been rejected; even though you are doubting your abilities. 

James Wagenvoord was that person for me. A fellow writer, we met as many writers do…at a dinner party. The hostess mentioned that we were both writers, and that began a wonderful friendship. But James was trul

Dalai Lama XIV
“And then the Archbishop offered his final and most effective remedy: reframing. “The very best is being able to ask yourself, ‘Why do I want to have a house that has seven rooms when there are only two or three of us? Why do I want to have it?’ And you can turn it on its head and look at how we are in such a mess with climate change because of our galloping consumption, which for the environment has been nothing less than disastrous. So you buy the small electric car instead, and you say, no I don’t need or want that big luxury car. So instead of it being your enemy, now it’s your ally.” Jinpa”
