For me, this would be Shirley – one of my dearest Soul Sisters … and upcoming Birthday Girl! Yes – she’s was a Christmas Eve Baby! And a fine poet as well. You are always in my heart, Sis.

Reminder, my Etsy site CC Willow Arts will be 10% off through December (I can gift-wrap for you). Also – If you like my zentangle patterns, many are available on items, like pillows, on RedBubble.
I do have two paintings on the Something Red Art Walk in Downtown Salem: RedHead @ Elsinore Gallery & Framing & Tent at World Beat @ CCTV through the end of December – both available for sale.
I identify myself as a Pacific Northwest poet. I have been writing poetry since 1976- and yes - I have been using the pen-name Ariel all this time! I can often be found writing in the Willamette Valley, in Pacific forests or along the Coastlines on Oregon.
