Facebook friends! I’m thrilled announce that samples of my personalized poetry, and those of my workshop students, are being featured in an art and poetry exhibit! It’s at Cafe Mira, Main and 16th. Theme is Celebration; how better to celebrate those we love than by writing a poem that’s all about them? If you can, join us at the opening this Saturday night!

Here's a Mother's Day poem my daughter Emily wrote for me two years ago. It's up on my bedroom wall and still makes me cry. Getting ready for tomorrow's Mother's Day poem workshop, 6-9 pm at Arbutus & 7th! Plenty of room left, so please message me if you'd like to come!

Today I gave a mini personalized poetry workshop (1 hour instead of 3) to my professional women's alumni group. It went GREAT! Together, we wrote a poem about Oprah Winfrey and I got some useful feedback. I'm so grateful to all the brilliant, imaginative women who took part and especially to my dear friend Tamar. What a good day!

Here's a poem I presented at an Open Mic tonight. Inspired by a business seminar I attended today, I wanted to experience the feeling of vulnerability in front of an audience. It went pretty well. Thank you, Gina Best!

I'd love to write a letter (or another poem!) to my Mom, who died in August 2015, but I'm still grieving and not yet ready. This does make me realize, though, that when we pay tribute, it's not just for the person we wish to honour. It's good and important for us, too.

Stamos paid tribute to his "dear, sweet mom," Loretta, who passed away in 2014.

Just attended my first networking event at BNI. What a terrific, dynamic group! Everyone took in stride my Roger Pen (microphone for my hearing disability). I got so much out of the event and met some terrific people. Big shout out to the organizers and members of BNI Vancouver (Marinaside) .. I'd love to join you!
