Hi, I have just rewritten this post I wrote a while ago
https://dodona777.com/2022/02/11/guardian-angel-counsellors/
The new version is at the end of the original. I'm not sure which one I prefer but if you have time or interest can you tell me which one you prefer.
By the way, I know you probably won't read either, but right now, for some reason, I want to share the posts with you.
Keep cool & and I hope all your wishes come true this New Year.
A poem I just wrote >
Why write? Something I wrote a while ago.
Watching #ABCtheDrum & they're discussing women's ordination as Ministers in the Anglican Church. This reminded me of a post I wrote some time ago - "The Curve of My Heart's Desire"

A Domesticated Haunting

These gold coins are from my grandfather. My maternal grandparents, Pontic Greeks, were refugees from Turkey in early 1920's. He died at age of 105 & what little he had was converted to British gold coins - 2 have Queen Victoria & 1 has King Edward as heads & St George as tails.
I'm sharing coin pics because I've been researching Greeks who came from Anatolia (Turkey). I went to Bafra, Turkey in 2000 (this is where my grand parents came from) looking for people who may be connected with them. Below, after the coins is an excerpt from first page of book I'm writing about that experience.
Why write?
Christmas baking done.
The dark cookies aren't pretty, but they are choc (ha!) full of black tahini and dark chocolate. They are incredibly delicious and I think they will fuel my next story with sugary goodness. My pants, however, will not thank me 😋
Caveat: though they are in the photo, no black beans were used in the making of these unholy treats!
