About Me

My photo
Breathing Life
I am a retired teacher, a mother of two grown children, a wife of 48 years, and a writer and poet. Not necessarily in that order! I began this blog as a way to stay in touch with my daughter when she began university across the country. It has turned into a way to stay in touch with myself and perhaps be a help for others as they navigate this thing called life. I am a woman of faith, a woman who battles depression and illness (and sometimes wins), and occasionally can see the humour and meaning in all of it. Occasionally. My first Novel - White Rabbit - was published on Amazon Kindle in October 2021. My Second Novel, Home and Away was published March 2025. I am KnitwiseGamgee on Ravelry and BreathingLife1680 on Instagram Thanks for visiting, Mary-Anne Burton Taylor
