Hi Claire. I’m Sally Wessely from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I’m the wife of Jim, and mom to four living adult children, and eight grandchildren, all of whom are adults except for one who is six years old. (He was a big surprise to his mom and dad!) I am a retired English teacher who started blogging when I first retired about fifteen years ago. The blog never really was a place I spent much time until my youngest daughter died in 2010. Writing then became a way I processed my deep grief. I started my Substack, Strand of Silver, this past spring. I’m excited to be here on Substack. Thank you for all of the tips, tricks, and insights you share with us.

Hello Claire and everyone. Nice to meet you. How gracious of you to offer this. I am Charlene. I live in Tequesta Florida (near Palm Beach). I am a mom to a son and a daughter (both in their 20’s) and a rescue lab mix, Harley. I am single now for a long while, but have found contentment with that. I have been on Substack for a few months now and feel so welcomed and encouraged here. Here is a bit more about me and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning about this community.
