Who Wore It Better?
 

I look to Mister Fred Rogers for fashion inspiration. He's one of my favorite teachers; not just because of his cardigans. I value Fred's legacy of kindness and curiosity. (Please see my essay, "The Yoga of Mister Rogers".) I try to remember his wisdom when writing and teaching.

It has been a joy to bring my writing workshops to local libraries this spring/summer and to see some of you in person. Fall will be busy with classes too. Please join me for generative online writing sessions (Pick Up the Pen), resuming in September, or my online Fall Workshop Series (Sept. 12 - Oct. 10), for writers with work in progress. The submission period for the fall series opens TODAY, July 1 (through August 15), details below.
