Next 50 Years

Welcome!

I’m Pamela. Thanks so much for visiting my website.

While I have many passions, writing remains my primary focus: I run a Substack blog, am publishing a children’s book, and am also writing my first novel.

I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother of three lovely grandchildren who live close by. Travel, art, photography, thrift stores, and beaches are among my favorite things. The thrill of discovery, of peeling back the layers of our world and finding something new, brings me immense joy.

I hope you will look around and find something new to identify with here. Thanks for stopping by, and please come back often. I’ll do my best to keep it interesting.
