My book "How I Survived the Sixties" is available!

It's the day after Christmas 2013, and we only have a few days left of this very challenging year.  For me it's been so full of changes, a new home, and a slew of new friends.  It's been forever since I've written anything on this blog too.  But I'm proud that I finally took all my blogs about the Sixties and created a fun book to read, How I Survived the Sixties.   For Subud members they will find my own personal story of how I came upon Subud in 1969.  For all the other folks who may have lived in the 60's, it will be something to take you back to a very different era in time and some stories may resonate with your own. For the younger set, you will have fun reading about this very turbulent and crazy time. You can go to this link and purchase the book if you are so inclined.    https://www.createspace.com/4562483 

You can find the book also on Amazon.com but they are keeping so much of the money, my royalties are minimal with them.  I had a lot of fun putting this book together and I had stellar help from Lisa Bonelli, a writer/editor in New Jersey.  Lucky me!!   Even though life is very difficult at the moment, attempting to secure health insurance with one of the worst states to do it in, I'm surviving somehow. Yikes, I can't believe the hoops they make you jump through, even with my minimal income and my age.  It's very hard to believe they want me to pay almost as much as what I receive every month in social security for health insurance.  When I lived in NYC, I had such great coverage.  Well, I only need wait 1 year and four months and I will then qualify for Medicare.  Ah, the perks of getting older. (a smile is on my face.) So one of my next books will be How I Survived MY Sixties.  Of course, I won't be writing it for a few years now, and hopefully I'll write more in between.  I have a poetry book I'm working on now, Essentials: Giving birth to words, rhymes and a story or two.  I'll let you know when that is available.  Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!  So much to be grateful for actually.  God bless!
