Winner of this week’s Poetry Party

This past week for our Poetry Party I invited you to write love poems to the world – to those ordinary things of our everyday lives which might for a moment become luminous.  Stop by to read the marvelous offerings.

The winner of the random drawing for a free registration spot in my upcoming online art retreat for the season of Lent – Soul of a Pilgrim (February 22-April 7, 2012) is Phebe Allen Gustafson.  Phebe, send me your email address and I can get you registered.  Thank you to everyone who participated.

If you want to join the online pilgrimage with an amazing gathering of over a hundred spirited and creative souls, sign up by Tuesday!
