Life

Born and bread (mostly bagels) in Brooklyn, N.Y. Crossed the new bridge, landing on Staten Island, right after the Indians.
Lotsa' things happened and I ran away from home. I was 36.
And in there lies the tale. Stay tuned.

Places I have plied my trade, just so you know.

This is a short list, because I am short.

Skilled Care Facilities, i.e., nursing homes, the good the bad and the really ugly.

Corrections, i.e, a local prison, also the bad and ugly.

NYC school system. Really ugly. Only lasted about 6 months.

In patient detox hospital. Not that ugly, but not pretty either.

Out patient after care, same population, same hospital. Almost uplifting, sometimes.

State vocational rehabilitation, mixed population, mostly formally incarcerated (old faces again), mental health population, population with substance abuse issues, and the unemployable. Now get them all working, that is an order. Best of all possible worlds in a really terrible world of agency bull s**t. Hey, it is the government.

Private practice counseling services.

Consultant and program development.

I have been told many times..."you should write a book!" And I answered just as many times..."when I retire!" I joined last Nov., promptly forgot.
Retirement, relocating, getting rid of "stuff", lotsa' stuff...needed to mourn old life,
get used to new wrinkles, new aches and pains. I gave myself a year. Year was up in May. Here I am.
****
I have a page on Face Book titled "THE CRONEGODDESS SPEAKS". She is one feisty old broad.
****
Working on memoirs...AND I NEVER DID LEARN TO KEEP MY BIG MOUTH SHUT...A WHISTLE BLOWERS TALE!

****
Donated my body to Harvard Medical School. They have to wait until I am dead. I will be such a "cut up" at Harvard.

I realize much of my poetry could go into a book called
ANGRY WOMAN WITH SHARP SHARP PEN
