A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

I’m A Wanna BE

I wanna be around the doers, not the downers
The everyday smiler’s, not the frowner’s
I wanna walk on the sunny side of the street
Being kind and responsive to everyone I meet

I wanna look to the future with possibility’s, unpassed
Scrapping predictions, overthinking, & all that won’t last
I wanna swim where the water is easy to swim
And where the only deep-diving I do is within

I  wanna  spend my days with human beings that mesh
Soaring high like the eagles; breathing air, pure and fresh
I wanna work, play, pray ~ celebrating life every chance
I wanna rise and greet each day with some fire in my pants

At days end I wanna sleep on soft squishy pillows
Floating high on fluffy clouds as I dream in the night
I wanna love like there’s no tomorrow
Turning evil and darkness into new light

I wanna stay faithful, warm, and keep well
Filled with the Lord’s never-ending grace
Crossing over bridges where others fell
Walking tall, standing strong ~ in my space

Loree, today… as I look to the light!

I am a writer / Author who loves to inspire and entertain the minds of others. I’m inspired by just about anything and everything imaginable. I first realized the power of the pen as a youngster starting with my diary. My teen yr. Were spent quite often in my room where I would scan through poetry books and magazines for hours, often ripping out pages of interest. I lamented over social issues of justice, the end of the Vietnam War, race, poverty, and such. I discovered then, that writing for me seemed to be a way in and a way out of myself. And certainly, a way to respond to the world around me. My friends often assisted me with rewriting things I loved which all had a sacred spot. At 17, I was off to the city where I landed a job as a Nursing Assistant. In Edmonton. I loved working in the presence of pioneers and always felt they had a lot to offer as I listened to their stories. However, it wasn’t long and I had a new vocation: Motherhood! I got caught up in the busyness of life but writing little pieces remained a priority whenever possible. ~ My friends and family used to say things like: “You’re really a good little writer...You should write a book one day”...but I buried that thought with a lot of others along the way. But then I started writing a Christmas Greeting when our children were small along with random silly poetry and little notes and quotes. Feedback was always welcome and I gained a lot of confidence from my peers over the years. At times in my life when I felt empty or afflicted,  I turned to ink.  And believe me; some days INK was all I knew!   I am a survivor of breast, skin, and colorectal cancer and am truly grateful for the gift of life. I am also grateful to my husband for affording me the luxury of travel; visiting many countries. I’m a mother of four daughters, a grandmother of nine, and a mentor to many.  My husband and I live in two places: Calgary, Alberta, and our sunny sanctuary: “Ecuador” where we live 3 months of the year. I am happy to announce that in 2019 my first Children’s book: No Home For A Pigeon” was born. My second Children’s book entitled: “A Boy Is Not A Kitten” has come to fruition as well, in March 2023. I'm a contributing author in the NEW release:  Mission Hope -Volume 2 Book Under the umbrella of Char Murphy! I now look forward to publishing a collection book sharing some of my most prized and personal poetry and other writings of my life’s journey. I hope You will follow along with me.
