My Philosophies:

 

“Do What I Love – The Rest Will Follow”

“Help As Many People As I Can
When Pursuing My Dream – It speeds the process exponentially”.

"It’s ALL ABOUT NOW
– my past is gone
(but makes for good poetry),
my future is yet to be written.
I have only this moment.” 



Why Poetry Greeting Cards?

As I look back to the beginning of my many volumes of poetry, I see that the very first poem I wrote was on December 1st, 1966.  And as I read the words to “Myself and My Love”, I have to wonder how a young girl of 15½ could possibly have penned those words of love and of love lost.  Holy Moly – did it really start when I was that young. . . . the rollercoaster of falling in love and of losing that “one and only”?  And so, volume after volume, I have continued to write the words that would soothe my broken heart and move me further along the path of finding “Mr. Right”.  And year after year I would read the words and know that somehow I would share my words with the world.  I wasn’t just sure how that would happen. Would I write my life story? Maybe. Would anybody care? Maybe. Would I write a book of poetry? I didn’t think so - but I knew I needed to share.

In 1973, I began a career in the Trust Industry.  In chronological order, I performed the duties of a Typist, a Secretary, a Trust Administrator, a Trust Officer,  a Manager of a Trust Company, and finally a Senior Account Executive of trust services (that’s when I took on a Sales role in financial services). Every position that I held gave me some level of satisfaction and I loved helping folks with their estate/trust & financial needs – but I longed for my creativity to emerge.

In 2003, after 30 years in the Trust field, I resigned.  Huge leap of faith.  But instead of sharing my poetry and musings with the world (still not sure how I was going to do that) – I created a home based business and AGAIN my dream of sharing my poetry was sidetracked, leaving me feeling empty and longing for more.

June of 2006 I took part in a wilderness camp with one of my best friends.  I made a commitment when I was there to fulfill "My Dream".  On the way home she mentioned that her sister was a Graphic Artist (...of course she is – thank you Universe!)  And so began my business relationship with Inkwell Graphics
Working with Henriette Greeley has been amazing.  I supply her with my poetry and my photography and she magically melds those two elements into my Dragonfly Kreations Greeting Card line and, most recently, she is helping me create my Postcard line as well.  Enjoy the results.  My Greeting Card and Postcard lines have begun and will be added to as fast as we can work!  My cards have been described as “Heart Rippers” . . . perhaps . . . but if you don’t see what you want , just wait awhile - new cards are being added all the time.  Contact us and let us know what you would like to see more of. I would love to create a card just for your circumstances.

“Yes, Virginia, there IS A SANTA CLAUS.”   He delivered my first 8 Greeting Cards to me just before Christmas and turned my Dream into a reality.
