Who is Blue Heron Writes?

Wendie Donabie is Blue Heron Writes. I’m an artist/writer who wants to share my artistic journey, with all its bumps and curves, hits and misses in order to inspire others to respond to their Muses and allow their creative nature to express itself.

Wendie’s Commitment: I’ll only post if I have something I believe is worthwhile sharing. I respect your time and appreciate each of you taking a few minutes to read what I write. That said I’ll also do my best to get to the point in as few words as possible.

The Great Blue Heron is my favourite bird. As a symbol of contemplation, vigilance, divine wisdom, and inner quietness, it displays all the attributes needed when pursuing our dreams. View Wendie's Artwork at www.wendiedonabie.com (click on image of Blue Heron to access website)
