About Me — Lee Stevens
A glimpse at my crone-ology
Who I am on the Outside:
A woman of Scottish, English, and Norwegian heritage who grew up in New England close to the sea. A mother of two and a grandmother of three. A former grant writer, a constant reader, and a forever scribbler of stories, both true and imaginative. A divorcee, widow, lover, friend, and sister. And a crone.
Who I am on the Inside:
A constant oberver of human behavior, and analyst of my own behavior. A writer who tries to spin my experiences into words that connect with the experience of fellow travelers in this human adventure.
A survivor of two marriages: the first to a man whose darkness has yet to dissipate despite his consumption of an unhealthy amount of alcohol over many years; the second to another alcohol abuser whose mental health issues were not resolved until he ended his life in 2010.
A person who has learned to take responsibility for her own life, and not try to fix other people.
A person whose priorities, in her crone-hood, are now clear. Those priorities are people, art, love, writing, and kindness toward myself and others. And enjoying some lightness and laughter along the way.
