I am an aspiring writer and poet who has been writing since I was fourteen years old and am now ready to share my words with the world.
I hope that my experiences and words help those who read them find their own voice and unleash their creativity.

Thanks for the LIKE on my recent post. I’ve enjoyed penpalling over the years, too. I got started in 1984 through “International Pen Friends” and still have some of those. We lived near Stratford, Ont, at that time.
Beautiful area!!
I have been there and love it!!!

Hi Melonie,
Thank you for logging into my blog and I will follow yours. Just to be clear. You are not an aspiring writer. Repeat after me: I AM a writer. I AM a writer. From the beautiful work that I see here, you can claim that title. The only difference between you and other well known writers is that they are published – thus they can say, “I am an author.”
You ARE a writer. Don’t forget it. Happy writing.
Joanne
Thank you so much for the comments and vote of confidence!!
It is always nice to know someone appreciate your work..
So right! BE the writer indeed Joanne. A woman after my own heart. Melonie I shall look forward to reading more of your blog and watch you be the writer that you are. Thank you for following my blog and liking what I do. Wishing you well!

Hello Fellow Canadian. I love that photo – was it taken in Northern Ontario? Looks like a fabulous spot to just be. From reading your pieces, it sounds like you are a care giver. Thank goodness for people like you, Melonie.

Hi Melonie Ann,
We know a secret: we understand the beneficial value of having a caregiver in the life of a care-receiver. Unfortunately this secret is not apt to change unless a system of support (for caregivers) is created. This is what all the hubbub about ITN is all about. And with globalization offering instant sharing opportunities, there is no good reason why essential systems of support can’t be shared. I offer this link to you (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=f885f56c47be1762&id=F885F56C47BE1762!836) because the ITN Program files are complete. We need Beta test groups! Is there any way you could organize one?
Let me know your questions. Thank you for your consideration.
Dan
I think its a great idea because one of the most important things is to care for the care giver!!
So many people don’t know available resources and are overwhelmed!! People get caught up in caring for loved one but don’t allow the same care and support for themselves!!
So I know this is uncommon (that a “former caregiver” should become so fixated on a Caregiver’s cause) but could you look at the program and make suggestions on how to implement it?
Yup i will sit and go over it on weekend!!
Fantastic. I’d even walk you through it (913-206-0673) if that orientation would help.
Dan

Hey! I have a black lab named Shadow, too! He is my ‘baby bear’ and so precious to me. He will (God willing) be 12 yrs old in September. He is much more than a mere ‘dog’ he is my special angel..he always senses when I am feeling down or when I need a hug..he gives me hugs! I dread the day that I must be without his unconditional love and loyalty.He really is quite special, as I am sure your Shadow is to you.
Your poems are beautiful and very versatile, I enjoyed reading them π Thanks so much for stopping by and following my blog, glad to know that you liked it π
Thanks for visiting my blog π Keep it up! Zx
