The theme for April … enjoy the path, no matter where it leads.

I’ve taken my own path for most of my life, but it hasn’t been until recently that I have embraced this as a wonderful thing. 

I have released a very old, and very inaccurate storyline from my life … that making up my own way somehow left me out. It didn’t. It never has. I get it now, in ways that have never fully sunk in before. WOW … a whole new beginning is happening in me. 

The desktop image and message for April celebrates that there are paths that are easy, and others where a machete is needed to clear the way. Both offer us something.

“Soft Launch” SUCCESS!

On March 26th, we held a soft launch of the new books … the three poets, surrounded by friendly faces of love, support and encouragement. 

It was AMAZING. 

Mary Ann came up with a great idea of melding the poems together … a sort of conversation between the poets. These were carefully chosen to flow from one voice to the next, and it was incredible. 

Certainly NOT your average poetry reading! It had such life and energy and connection between the three. 

Now it’s time to GO PUBLIC … so on Monday, April 3rd, 2023, they will do a public reading at the
North Branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library, at 2 p.m. 

READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE.

If you are in the area and able to attend, I encourage you to do so … you will be enthralled! 

Books will be for sale at this event.

I started looking at a bunch of my old design magazines the other day … and I discovered things I am sure I never saw the first time. 

It feels a little bit like I’ve just been gifted a pile of great things to look at and savour, but in fact, they have been here all along! 

I notice I am attracted to some things that didn’t really interest me before, seeing it all in new ways, as I have changed and morphed my ideas and thoughts. 

How did I miss the article on  Losttype?  Okay … a wee bit of a rabbit hole, but not too bad. More ideas!

I am also looking for ideas on a new project that is wanting my attention, so I am looking at similar types of books to get ideas of what works and what doesn’t. This is where the library is such a fantastic resource!! They have so many fabulous books they will loan me for free. Oh how I love the library. 

So, April seems like a really good month to explore a new path … or carve one out … and that’s what I think I will do.

The idea of taking things that I already have and putting them in the world in different ways really appeals to me right now.

I guess the concept of working with what is currently in my world is now firmly applying to all areas of my life, and I am really finding great joy in that.

May you find great joy is this month too!
