travel
Family travel is complicated. And sometimes fun.
Mama, What does...?
My husband, Jim, was diagnosed with throat cancer. He lost his ability to speak just three months prior to our wedding. I never really ever heard his natural speaking voice. I brought five children to our relationship. All teenagers; four daughters and a son. He had no children and had never been married before. Jim was a wonderful muscian. Our battle with his cancer became a family mission of survival. As the months became years, we became champions in finding versatile ways of combating the obstacles of teen rebellions, high school, middle school, absent parents, chemo therapy, radiation sickness, surgeries, and infections.

Excommunication of the Self...
Originally written by Olivia Petrus. Oct. 7th, 2007. I stared out the car window at the green open fields enveloped in the early Sunday morning light. The car moved slowly up and down the hilly road that led us past the Illinois countryside. I noticed the birds soaring freely in the blue skies and watched the cows graze, while the horses galloped in and out of the stereotypical barns littered across that Middle-of-Nowhere Town.

My Daughter and her Mother Addicts Both
After a year and a half of unanswered emails/entreaties/pleas to my 22-year-old daughter. I received the long-awaited reply. She had been working 10 hours per day in an $8-per-hour. No benefits fast-food job to finagle time with co-workers so she could visit me. She had never traveled overseas by herself. I booked a route with the fewest connections and layovers possible.

#vanlife - Choosing to be Homeless
homelessness. The first time I thought of thw word was on Cape Cod when a woman in Brewster called me homeless. After putting over 6 grand and later another two weeks of loving and living with a family that burnt, as my living situations with others do, in the flames of my trust issues getting in the way and not being respected.. and then hit with a tsunami of cold destruction on my end to seal the deal on who can be the meanest.

Franklin Cider Mill
The Franklin Cider Mill, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. In my line of business, between running a family owned and operated business in Florida and trying to work on no less than six novels at the same time and various short stories, I find myself with little time to do anything else.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Though visiting Italy for the first time was amongst my brightest memories, I remember the Dark Rome tours. I thought it an odd name for a company that shed so much light on the past and created memories in the present that oftentimes survived the test of time. I was there to meet the rest of my paternal biological family, having met my dad’s sister Tatiana the previous year in England whilst she was visiting a friend that at the time was suffering from cancer, and has thankfully recovered and retired to France.
