Don't you love how God works things out? My husband's birth mom and my husband pray every day for my writing endeavors. They ask the Lord not only that I will feel inspired but that He will make ways for others to enjoy the fruit of my labors. God is answering those prayers and I'm … Continue reading Published

End of National Poetry Month
The end of National Poetry Month is tomorrow. Writing poetry every day with several friends this month has brightened my life.

Would you be interested in learning different forms of poetry? After writing four books on how to write poetry, I am considering teaching a class. There would be a nominal fee which would include one of my books and an exclusive Facebook page for sharing our work. Interested?
Vacation & Books
If anyone has wondered why I haven’t posted for a while, I’ve been on vacation. Kevin and I took a trip just north of Chicago to visit his birth family. We hadn’t been able to visit in three years. Our time was sweet with family, and we saw all but two. We had missed each … Continue reading Vacation & Books
Sleeping in with Sofie
A crash and subsequent rumblings startled me out of a deep sleep about 5:30 yesterday morning. My husband, already up and awaiting his first cup of coffee, stood in the kitchen, unaware of the commotion behind our bedroom walls. I related what I had heard, and he immediately went into action. Grabbing a flashlight and … Continue reading Sleeping in with Sofie
Sofie, the Weather, & Poetry
Today, I sit with Sofie as she dreams away. Oh, the life of a dog. With a light breeze, our days are warm, a blessing after sweltering 100 + degrees weeks with no central air in the house. We need rain, Lord. The fire season is upon us here in California, and I pray for … Continue reading Sofie, the Weather, & Poetry

I've been having a blast writing poetry nearly every day since before National Poetry Month (April.) New forms of poetry are a fascination and … Continue reading Composing
The Limericks of Sofie
As I sit with my Sofie girl, today she’s not feeling so hot. She recently saw the groomer, and I think they shaved her a little too close. She’s been scratching and biting herself constantly. The groomer saw no evidence of fleas. But my cute little snaggletooth girl is so itchy. I feel sorry for … Continue reading The Limericks of Sofie
Sofie
Sofie’s cuddled up near me, and we are having a good day. She woke up a little earlier than usual. Believe me, I sure would have liked the extra hour I was hoping for, but up I got anyway. She follows me around the backyard as I tend my garden, and she sits with me … Continue reading Sofie
