Flower Paintings and A Poem of Rising Passion and Answered Prayer
With a couple of outdoor art shows coming up, I decided creating small paintings would be a good idea. There’s always room for a small piece of art to brighten up your home, workplace or cottage. These canvases are all Acrylic on Canvas, 6 x 6 inches, $50 each. Brilliant colours, faces open to the sun, …
Sharing My Poetry – In Love
I’ve been asked by several readers to share some of my creative writing so today, here is the first… I wrote this poem in 2006 as a writing exercise for an online course. And then in 2010 I lived the poem when I met my life partner. I’d love your feedback. Wendie A Place As …
An Unexpected Blessing – Celebrating Mother’s Day
In 2012 I wrote the following for a special event celebrating Mothers. My mother-in-law, Muriel Nichols, is now 92 and still as vibrant and beautiful as ever.

A Glorious Day to Say Goodbye
Yesterday we said goodbye to Joyce, the beloved cousin and friend of those who gathered by her graveside. Our numbers were small but our love immense. This special woman touched each of us and changed us forever. Although Joyce passed away in November, her cousin delayed interment of her ashes until the spring when we …
The Most Difficult Writing – A Eulogy for My Friend
In my post, The Case for a Gravestone (March 1, 2012), I write about the upcoming interment of my close friend Joyce’s ashes. As part of the service, I planned to share some thoughts about Joyce, our relationship, who she was and the impact she had on the world. Weeks ago, I started thinking about …
It’s Valentine’s Day!
It’s Valentine’s Day – a day for expressions of love that goes back to the Middle Ages. Handwritten cards did not appear until after 1400; the oldest valentine in existence was one written by Charles, Duke of Orleans in 1415 to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
