Welcome, Friends!
Big news. I’ve officially retired from teaching writing to kids, but fun reading and writing adventures for women are just around the corner.
As you might guess, after wearing my teacher hat for more than thirty years, I’m in a bit of a transition—plus I’m also a newly minted empty nester—but I know I’m called to gather women around my dining room table to read, write, and connect. That’s because I know down to my bones that life is better when we share our stories. Let’s add light to the world and do it together.
Stay tuned as I figure it out and invite you to be part of the illuminating fun!
Still writing after all these years,
Here’s How We Can Read & Write Together
My signature course is morphing!
I plan to reveal the details in late January, but right now I think it’s going to be for women. For years, all of us mamas attending Family of Writers have been sharing stories and writing in voices that are appropriate for third—fifth graders. It’s time to let loose and write without worrying about beloved kiddos! The working title is The Ladies Table, but if you have a better idea, contact me!
For book lovers who can’t commit!
The Once-in-a-While Book Club is for book lovers who can’t commit to monthly meetings (I crack myself up). It’s an afternoon of bookish conversation that happens around my dining room table once in a while.
(For adults.)
Mini retreat. Massive delight.
We can’t wait to gather eight women around our dining room tables for a few hours of writing and art! No writing experience required! We celebrate all that is good about your bold and beautiful words.
(For women.)
Pie + Haiku = Yum!
The third annual Poetry Pie Writing Challenge happens every April during National Poetry Month. We celebrate by writing haiku and it’s hosted on my Substack, Power Lines. Subscribe to get in on the fun!
