In late 2018, I retired from a thirty-year career in healthcare. Typical Type A's like me struggle with retirement, but I didn't. I had always wanted the time to write, read and study.

​

I had many ideas about what I would do with my writing at that time. At first I wanted to write about what retirement felt like; to climb inside its warm embrace. After all, I had a job of one type or another since I was 13 (worked as a clerk in a bakery), plus motherhood (at 26), and had no idea what free time felt like. So, I opened my eyes to this more slow motion world, gave myself time to absorb, and lo and behold, began bubbling over with observations to share.

​

Initially, The Space Between was intended to represent the time interval after a full-time career and before the advanced years. Later, as I got serious about writing a historical novel, the scope of my musings (thus the name change to Musings) broadened to include historical insights as well. I'm hoping the topics I chose to write tickle your interest as much as mine.
