2015
you would have been 65 today


2013
frenemies
the adults
the pain of attachment
my birth story
2012
in memoriam
2011
le poeme
organics and potential
we went away
the morning commute
2010
career-girl, play nice
on disappointment and self-definition

here and there and HOME again = thoughts on courage
from the rubbish, we find new stones
my spirit as helicopter
