Above is one of the stunning images from my first picture book, Where Do Butterflies Go at Night? Soon to be released is a newly-designed and formatted 2nd Edition (see image above right.)

Why a 2nd Edition? All will be revealed soon when I announce my book’s availability on Amazon. Meanwhile, above is one of the places I imagined butterflies might go at night, beautifully brought to life by illustrator Stella Maris Mongodi.

Stay tuned …

The Middle of Winter

Nature will do her best to never fail us. She will shine in her own way, in her own season, in her own time. Grateful.

And a poem that just came to me. It seems fitting. By Donna Ashworth.

UNSTOPPABLE

Unstoppable they called her
but I saw her stop
I saw her stop many times
sometimes I thought she had
stopped for good
but no
she always found a way
to rise again
to resurrect
not the same, never the same
unstoppable they said
but I think it was in the stopping
that she found her power

– Donna Ashworth

Wonder

Look up and find the dragon in the clouds; or watch a beetle negotiate freshly cut grass; or marvel at the expanse of rose and peach satin that is a sunset. Look at the miracle that is how your hands work.

Never lose your sense of wonder – it has surprising strength to help us through.

Looking to 2025
