Nobody’s gonna count down to midnight with more zeal than me.

In this, my “Year of Yes”, I’ve:

• got multiple tatts and piercings
• bungee-jumped
• sky-dived (dove?)
• sat through a live opera
• adopted a dog
• and twelve cats
• been a surrogate for an infertile friend

Next up: my Year of NO.

Mary Steer only has her ears pierced. She will be ringing in 2018 with a long story, “The Yarnabomber”, appearing in The Ocotillo Review. It will be available for purchase by mid-January at kallistogaiapress.org. You can read more of Mary’s work at marysteer.com.
