The Door Wide Open
"The Door Wide Open, Pickles to Poetry" explores life's transitions, both big and small, with depth and lightness. With nature, love, and laughter along the way. Life resides in these moments; we are alive in each second of every day, rather than life "getting in the way" or "just happening."
I have always believed and hold in my heart, when something looks good it will taste good. Whether looking at a plate of food, or a piece art that holds us captive. We are human and it is our nature to be drawn to pretty things. In my last adventure, each jar of pickles was to be packed to perfection. First capturing the eye and once you snapped that first bite, richness of flavor kept people coming back again and again.
I have carried this forward the pairing of poetry and photography once again, complimenting each other on the palate of life.
“The Door Wide Open” is written with depth and lightness in life’s transitions, big and small. from a 14-year-old wishing to be seen and heard to the widow not wanting to be seen. With nature love and laughter along the way. For life is held in these moments, life does not “get in the way” or “just happen” we are alive in each second of every day.

Lost and Found is a collection of poetry diving into the depths of some of the hardest moments of life. From abuse and misuse, family relations and loss, the job of protective services, to a native Cherokee Grandmother’s story…
And the kindest moments of life, that keep us strong. With family and relations, a spring thunderstorm, the grace of birds soaring, or catching a leaf on a fall day, and the beginning of romance and friendship in a walk on the beach…
These 86 poems come with only the sole intent to share, to help others understand, heal, inspire, and help create a better place to live. Knowing none of us are alone on this journey and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
A special thank you to all Protective Service officers, who daily walk into work not knowing what or who they will encounter. Their dedication to giving us a safer place to live gave many of them the courage to share a piece of the truth in the job they do each day.
