puppetmaker | Happy Birthday to my Sister Sheila the 2016 edition

Today is my sister’s birthday, long may she wave….opps that’s Flag Day but it is still her Birthday and has been for a while now.

Happy Birthday Sheila, hope the day brings you lots of lovely things.

My sister is a writer. She had been writing for as long as she has been able to write.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have found her writing in a notebook or on the computer.

She writes all kinds of things. She had done poetry slams all around Atlanta. She has a novel that she finished and is shopping around. She is working on another one probably as I am typing this.

As she says on her twitter profile (@wonderbink), “I’m a writer the way other people are drinkers or smokers”.

She is also an artist.

She is almost at 2,500 in her flower project giveaway according to her twitter feed she is up to flower 2372 You can find more information here and get some free art for the cost of a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope). Caroline treasures hers.

I am proud of her for dealing with some serious adversity in her life and working to rebuild it.

I love you Sheila. (and guess what I missed spelled your name as Shelia and wrote happy brithday so some things never change. Dyslexia for the win.)

I am so grateful that I have Sheila in my life.
