| Introduction | A warm hello, whoever you are, and thanks for taking the time to see what this blog is all about. By way of introduction, I'm a relatively new empty-nester who's not old enough to retire but can't wait to hear the laughter of grandchildren and be one of the sparks that ignites their joy, curiosity and wonder. I'm a journalist, an avid (make that rabid) reader and a lover of trees and of wild creatures and places and the smell of wet earth in the mountains of Colorado and my own offbeat prairie garden. I find peace and comfort in the night sky and the sound of water rushing over and around pebbles, rocks and boulders that are billions of years old. I'm an enthusiastic but technically challenged amateur photographer. And I am a recovering alcoholic. If you are, too, or want to find sobriety, I offer Living Out Loud as a source of hope, comfort and resources about the disease of alcoholism. I'll share the stories of many women who live in recovery alongside my own story, as well as my thoughts and experience on more universal issues and the ordinary joys and struggles all women share.
