I read a @maryoliverdaily.bsky.social poem daily, picked at random. It always fits my day. I just purchased this and hadn’t read The Leaf And The Cloud 2000. It brought me to my knees. She knew my parents: (Stanza 5-6). “I will not give them responsibility for my life.” Me: age 12. Oh. Oh my.

Book cover of Mary Oliver’s poetry and prose volume published in 2025.

Always has, always will. History will judge them, as it did all those who were the same way. Sadly the world suffers on their watch.

Talk about “blue sky!” Such a beautiful full arch rainbow on Saturday night. Quite rare to see in #southernalberta in early fall. I’ve just learned to play “over the rainbow” on my harp. One of my favourite songs, especially when sung by the great Judy Garland!

Thank you so much! Readers will enjoy reading the book, and listening to the story is a joy, as there are so many characters, dialects and even the #manx language! It’s a journey back in time!

My grandmother at 81 years of age, passed in 1988, key inspiration for my #historicalfictionnovel Time Enough. She lived through horse and buggy days all the way to see the moon landing. Homesteader, entrepreneur, restaurant owner, through the Depression. Brave & resilient. A role model for today.

Can’t wait for listeners to hear Time Enough: the Manx language, songs, and the drama of the story of immigration in the 1900’s.

Wonderful to speak with Camille about how our grandmothers actually lived, as opposed to the trend towards a false, romantic version in books and media. In my novel Time Enough, I describe the woman’s journey in all its strengths, false steps, and hardships in a world with few options.

A favourite quote from my #historicalfiction novel Time Enough. The theme: the loss suffered by those forced to emigrate, leaving everyone and everything they know behind. Have you had to leave home and felt that longing to go back? You can’t but the pain is deep.

Delighted that my poem Truth Lies placed second in the War of the Words Anthology 2026 for the @whenwordscollidefestival #yyc! The poem draws a parallel with Joan of Arc’s “trial” and execution in the 1400’s and the Epstein files today. I hope justice doesn’t take so long.

Oh it’s on my list! Thank you! I did so much research and hope I caught the spirit in my novel Time Enough. I was inspired by the old movie Somewhere in Time.

Delighted to be interviewed for @mrswritepodcast this morning. Writers helping writers learn and grow their craft and marketing skills. #mentorship is crucial for development as a writer. I’ll let you know when it’s live!

Mentors are so vital to your progress as a writer. And they are not hard to find, fortunately. But you have to be open and willing to learn.

#valentinesday is precious to me. I think of all the love I’ve received. The heart rock on the left was a gift from a stranger on the beach, #capebreton, 2018. The kindness of strangers has defined my life. The card was from my husband, 2016. What a find for this girl! “Love is all you need.”

Grammies are reflective of such a tiny percentage of contemporary music that it doesn’t even register. There are scientific studies showing that in general ppl stop seeking new music around the age 28 and believe the music of their younger days is superior. There’s great music in every era

Alberta has passed Bill 11, allowing doctors to charge unlimited fees at for-profit clinics while working in the public system. This is American-style health care, and if Alberta succeeds, other provinces will follow. Join me: share.nwmd.social/s/88GSpS4U

So many of my students in my schools were hungry all the time. This was back in the 2000’s. I started own lunch program, free hot soup or beans, as much as they wanted. Out test results went up significantly and the behavioural issues decreased. Schools should have hot lunch free for all.
