My latest newsletter was published in late August and features the fabulous poet Meghan Sterling (pictured below), some tasty recipes, and a featured hike, along with a writing prompt and a couple of reading recommendations. Enjoy! Click here to read the issue.  Camp Ray of Hope is a weekend retreat for grieving Mainers. My eldest daughter and I attended for many years as participants, and for the last several years we have spent the annual weekend volunteering to support others in their grief. There is no cost to attend, programming is available for kids and adults, and there is childcare available for kiddos younger than 3.  My latest publication, a micromemoir published by Five Minutes, was published last week. Five Minutes' submission guidelines require pieces to be exactly 100 words and should be a glimpse into five minutes of a person's life. You can read Sweet Cream here.  See below for information about upcoming workshops with the Peter Alfond Prevention & Healthy Living Center in August and September.  I will be teaching my Writing through Grief workshop through the Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area on Monday, July 14, 2025, and HVWA will also be offering a number of wonderful, supportive classes and workshops this summer. All of these workshops are FREE to participate in. Please reach out to Rick Darveau at [email protected] to register.  I'm thrilled to be collaborating with All Things Become New to bring some FREE writing workshops to the world this spring! We have two virtual workshops scheduled for April and May, and then we will be doing in-person workshops up in Aroostook County (way northern Maine!) in June. There is no cost to participate in these workshops, but registration is required. To register, please reach out to Suzanne Morneault at [email protected] or at (207) 540-5446.  This past fall, I collaborated with the Maine-based nonprofit, All Things Become New, to submit a grant to the Maine Humanities Council for an Arts & Humanities Grant. Our plan was to bring community writing workshops to Aroostook County, the northernmost county in Maine (affectionately referred to as "the County" here in Maine). Last month, Suzanne and I were thrilled to learn that our project was selected to receive a grant. Over the coming months, we will be planning and scheduling five community writing workshops (two virtual ones and three in-person) to happen this spring and summer. More details will be shared soon! To learn more about All Things Become New and the incredible impact the organization has on northern Maine communities, visit their website here.  The latest issue of my newsletter, The Red Eft, is here! It has writing updates, some reading recommendations, info on upcoming workshops, and a feature on Bess Welden's incredible Death Wings Workshop. Read the issue here.  |
