Carmelene Melanie Siani is an 82-year-old freelance writer who has been published at Elephant Journal, Better after 50, The Tattooed Buddha, 50 Plus Magazine, and The Reader, among others. Her stories are personal narratives on personal growth, grief, family, and late-life love. Her aim is to help others see the ways that life is constantly opening to reveal its own lessons. She lives by the dictum of Muriel Rukeyser that “The universe is made of stories, not atoms.”
And at the age of 82, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
