ROOTS OF WONDER

Welcome to my Website
~ ROOTS OF WONDER

“A child’s mind is not a bucket to fill, but a fire to ignite.”        ~unknown

Kids:

  • Silly
  • Tough
  • Hilarious
  • Generous
  • Loud
  • Brave
  • Charming
  • Adventurous
  • Kind
  • Extraordinary

I have had many opportunities in my life to witness children’s wonder and curiosity, and also their pain. I have watched them grow physically, socially and spiritually as a Mom, Grandma, pediatric nurse and children’s yoga instructor. (for more about me, see “About Me”)

I have written journals throughout my life, and recently completed my memoir. In fall, 2019, I found the courage to share my ideas, adventures and experiences with children by writing stories.

I am also passionate about forests, the ocean and gardening. Reading, creating, poetry (both reading and writing), health, and kids, are also my greatest pleasures. These all dance to rhythms. There is peace in rhythm, and security. We find rhythm in children’s books. The rhythms of my blogs will be created in different forms. I will discuss picture books and why I chose a particular story to talk about, including poems, facts, and  author and illustrator bios.
