Long Time, No Talk!

Hello all!

For those who were following me, I apologize for ending This Is Life so abruptly, without any explanation or notice. I stepped away from blogging due to personal hesitations about the domination of technology in my life, as well as needing to get back to pen and paper writing. Now, two years later, I’m starting a new blog where I continue writing the stories of my life as I grow.

If you’d like to check it out, follow the link: www.thesqueakywheels.wordpress.com.

I’d love your support on this new endeavor!

With gratitude,

Abbey 🙂
