I wrote this piece on the recession and how it has affected my family

Insufferably long-winded, aging ne'er-do-well, raconteur and moon-y gadabout

Insufferably long-winded, aging ne'er-do-well, raconteur and moon-y gadabout
I'm in my early forties, a raconteur gypsy gadabout who's lived in some of America's greatest cities, and some of the quieter, flower-filled corners. I have a lot of sadness inside, but paint my own and my family's life with color and whimsy. Because to dwell in the darkness would be like rolling back and forth on black sand on a dark, cold and foggy beach, and I couldn't live that way and be the mother and woman I want to be. So daisies and fuchsia lipstick it is.

Just read your blog about living right on the wrong side of town…excellent! It reminded me of when my boyfriend (now my husband for the last 36 years) and I first started out…poor, living in rentals we painted and improved, in dicey neighborhoods….but happy and connected to our environment, our fellow humans, and the seasons in a way we do not in our comfortable, middle class suburban home. I think their are fewer “walls” between folks when we are not quite as comfortable and complacent….when we need each other….
Again, excellent article, Corbyn!

Corbyn , I don,t know if this is the same article I read in the ‘Now Magazine ” are not . After reading the article I started following your life , as well as what is going on with your family . Hang in there girl things will change for the better . I also read your article on ” loving the dumpster ” . If I was going to pick a dumpster to pick my organic items out of it would be Trader Joe,s . Pray for you and your family ever day while I am going to work . I also wrote the editor of ” Now Magazine” a stinging email about something she wrote in about old people . I just hope she lives to be old herself . Take Care John
