A New Land

 

Walk along Rio Grande, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. March 2010.

Not long ago, I was a woman of a certain age. 

Now .... I am a woman of age. 

Having become a woman of age, it is like relocating to a new land. 

I am neither a refugee nor an enthusiastic immigrant. 

It is more like .... 

It is more like .... 

It is more like ... I lived on the northern bank of the Rio Grande, a resident of the United States. One day, the course of the river changed, and suddenly I live on the southern bank of the river, a resident of Mexico. 

This blog is about how one woman learns to thrive in this new land. 

Many years ago, a dear friend gave me a nickname that I cherish: Mountain Breeze. I'm going to riff off of that for this journal. 

Pleased to meet you.
