WIDOW LESSONS Blog
A member in my Edmonds Senior Center Writer’s Round Table group has just started a blog and a book about what she’s learned in the process of becoming and being a widow.
Her insights are highly useful to anyone who has or may experience this common life transition.
Bridget’s writing style is a wonderful mix of humor and poignancy. Not everyone can do that well, but she does.
Take a look at her new blog about learning how to be a widow.
IT ROCKS!

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net.

We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).

The rewards are many for those who venture to Samoa
It takes much effort and time to get to Samoa, as this small, Polynesian island country is situated in the central South Pacific Ocean, halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii. It’s made up of nine volcanic islands, four of which are inhabited. The two largest islands, Savai’i and Upolu, comprise 99% of the nation’s total land area. Though Savai’i has the most land, Upolu has the most people because it’s the commercial center and location of Samoa’s capital, Apia. The total population of the country is approximately 225,000.
