My book "is(ness)" is a poetry finalist in the Colorado Authors League Book Awards, as is my poem, "Gahé Dzíł Mountain Spirits”. My 2nd & 3rd books are finalists. It would have been nice to win, but I'm grateful. The award ceremony is on July 19, 2026, at the Wash Park Boat House in Denver at 3 pm.

Sundays used 2 B my favorite time of the week, because I used the time to read books. The past year, Sunday, became a day I dread, leaving me with haunting thoughts & feelings. No matter what, they didn't pass, even with distractions. I don't read anymore on Sunday. Maybe in time, that will change.
