Merika is a Greek word meaning creative spark. We all have it. It's part of what makes us human.
My friend Jodi is a caller for traditional New England dances.
In addition to her wonderful books, my friend Juilene is an Irish Storyteller in the oral tradition.
Friend and BWL author Eileen O'Finlan keeps a beautiful garden in her Massachusetts home.
Our readers have wonderful sparks of creativity, too. Roseanne creates beautiful table settings for her large family at holidays. Jeanie is a creative baker. David and his uncle Bill delight children with beautiful model train villages for our local historical society displays.
What are your satisfying creative pursuits, dear reader? How do you make our world more beautiful?
Eileen, I think my other life outside being a writer is being a grandmother. There are seven of them. Three are Chinese and four are Black. Makes life interesting.
