Poetry

I began writing poems in the fall of 2000. I went to a women’s bible study where they used the Beth Moore video tapes. She is such an exciting and thrilling teacher; full of God’s love and compassion. I wrote in my journal daily. Soon it began to come out as poems. The poems became many. I found a Christian publisher, joined a poetry club and began publishing my poems.

Included are many of my poems. I have a small booklet published and copyrighted (as are all my poems) entitled “God’s Love Flows.”

This gift of writing was given to me by the Lord. I would never be able to write what I do if I didn’t have His help. Keeping this in mind, I feel that these poems are meant for everyone. I give you my permission to print them out and use them for yourself or anyone else who needs the comforting words. The only thing I request is that you do not take my name off the poem.

Photographs

I needed some sort of format to put my poetry on. I went to the local Office Max and began buying designer paper. My publisher warned me that I could not use other people’s designs. This is when my love of photography kicked in. I pulled out my 35mm, bought a digital camera and a good scanner. These enabled me to use photos of past trips (Hawaii, Aruba, Bermuda, Key West and many other places) plus many new photographs. It has been so much fun finding the right picture for a particular poem. I have tried to match the poems and pictures together.

One day someone asked for just the photograph without the poem. It seems her husband was not a poetry fan but would love the picture. And so started my line of photography. This has increased the many possibilities for a greater variety of photos. What fun I’m having!!

My photography, only the photos themselves, are limited editions. I sign the back of the pictures, putting the number and name on them and the number of the limited edition; example--20/500.

Enjoy looking through the pictures. If you have any requests for a particular shot, let me know on my email. I’ll see what I can come up with.

Enjoy the beauty of these words and images and may God bless you.
