Welcome!
LEAVES 🌿 are perfect every morning with your coffee and toast, and much better for your mental health than the daily newspaper or social media. They offer a little respite from this mad world for a few minutes each day.
LEAVES 🌿 is not a blog. It will not help you get fit, or save the planet, or organize your closet, or make a great lasagna. You will find no gossip or politics here, but you will find:
short character-driven micro-fiction
evocative travel tales from a woman who travels solo
family tales from a tribe possibly unlike your own
lightly snarky, humorous commentary on life.
Leaves 🌿 also showcases my full-length tale of Bartle Clunes. He is found HERE in the Bartle Clunes archive.
We have a lot in common, you and I — we are, after all, probably of the same species. Admittedly, I am slightly askew from having lived in Santa Cruz my whole life, but if you’re not afraid of dealing with a lightly demented, but invariably optimistic outlook, please stop in daily for a quick read.
LEAVES 🌿 are free for everyone. Subscribers receive a couple of short posts every Saturday and Wednesday via email. Stop by any time here on line to catch up on what you’ve missed. It is all worthy. No kidding.
