Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
The Wishing Place
The Wishing Place

Take my hand and step with me
onto a cobblestone path
to a long forgotten clearing.
It's hidden in the forest
where misty spirits beckon
from their mossy hiding place.
Once you step onto the path,
sensations of time transcending
overtake you.
Soon enough, you are peering
into the wishing place.
Here the sunbeam dances and
so too do the faery folk.
The sun-streaked clearing calls,
step into it and feel the magick.
Have no fear, you are safe here.
Close your eyes tight, my friend,
and reveal to the forest
your deepest wish.
