How it all began...
 

Years ago my writing group instructor gave us the assignment to write a Drabble. "A what?" we asked. “Oh, that will be easy,” I thought. Well, one week after struggling, and struggling even more, to compose an intriguing but concise story of exactly 100 words—no more, no less—I fell in love with the form. Now, more than a decade later, I’ve published my first book—A Twist of Lemon—and have become passionate about inspiring others to venture into this little-known but incredibly fun and challenging form of microfiction.

What could you do with 100 words, I wonder?

(By the way, you just read a Drabble!)

for an unusual time...

Through my Eyes

Change embodies hope for new beginnings—corrected failings and brighter tomorrows. Our nation seeks to unify and reinstate its position as a beacon of light; but name-calling and denying other’s beliefs, experiences, and wisdom makes this less plausible.

 

The Zulu phrase, Sawubona, can serve as a reuniting force. It means I see you, and speaks to something missing for eternities—deep regard for the value and importance of all. It implies graciousness in every encounter—a path for only the most intrepid lover.

 

With any luck, “Rocky Road” will soon refer only to ice cream consumed at crowded, mask-less gatherings.

"As a Psychosynthesis Coach, I appreciate this art form and offer it as an example of how self-expression is multi-faceted and can be experienced through many different avenues, such as creative writing, painting, sculpture, physical exercise, dance, etc.  These ways of expressing Self not only have the power to heal the Self, but function as a catalyst in healing others as one recognizes Self in the work of others." ~ Ann D'Angelo, BCC
