Half-Full
Pink, red, mauve, crimson, scarlet, maroon, and garnet. What do these colors have in common besides shades of red? Well, they have been popularly known to be the colors you see on a flower called a rose. People used to say "Everything is coming up roses" when many things in their lives were working out great. They also used to say when you look at the world with rose colored glasses it meant you saw the brighter side of things. Looking at the world with rose colored glasses sure can paint a pretty picture. But this is only "half" of the story! When you begin to understand how to think in an optimistic, or more positive way you begin to see life's troubles and worries in a different light. This helps to open up a world "full" of colorful possibilities that you can share.

Summer Edition
I write poetry for the delight and"stubborn gladness" of it.
When life can be so overwhelming and brutal to the senses and spirit, nature can heal and inspire me to capture the moment. Whether it be through photographs, poetry, or paintings, creativity gracefully flows through me.
This is a product of my being brave, seeking the richness and wonders in the world, and fighting back against the forces that try to dim my light. These photographs are a tribute to my beautiful experiences in New England.
My poems are elaborate excerpts from my inner reflections and a call to continue thriving in the art of awareness.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Welcome to your happy place…
Each morning as bookseller Florrie Appleton cycles along the promenade of her seaside hometown, watching the surfers far out in the bay, breathing in the fresh salty air, she counts herself lucky.

But when tragedy strikes, her little slice of heaven is in danger of being lost forever.
When Florrie stumbles upon a mysterious stash of yellowed letters in the storeroom, it seems Ed isn’t the only one with secrets. The old bookshop is full of stories waiting to be told, and they aren’t only in the pages of the books....
