Welcome to Life Matters.
Human life is the source of deep suffering and gorgeous hope. ~Henry James Slack
We each have unique stories of suffering and hope (and lots of in-between stuff, too.) Sharing those stories is a form of therapy that encourages self-discovery, healing, and (occasionally) pee-in-your-pants laughter. Moreover, understanding the moral of the story is often life-changing.
I wanted to reflect on my 50+ years of experience to understand myself better. I suffered for years as a codependent personality. But, it's incredible what we learn about ourselves when we really look hard. Hence, Life Matters was born.
Nobody lives a perfect life. Knowing who we truly are and why leads to acceptance of our personal stories without shame or guilt. It engenders forgiveness and growth. I hope you're encouraged to do the same and reap those rewards.

And Me?
My pen name is Ms. Writer. I plan to share intimate details of my life and those of others; therefore, I (and they) will remain anonymous.
I enjoy writing, reading, traveling, and (amateur) photography with an iPhone.
I'm involved with animal advocacy, protecting the environment, and preserving American Democracy.
Likes: Wine, cake, and anything cake-like (i.e., doughnuts.)
Dislikes: Diets, hair in the sink, and closed-minded people.
I hope you'll join us!
Ms. Writer
