“Sitting at my desk in Collingwood, watching the birds and blooms dance in the labyrinth, the long braids are long gone now, and my short hair is greying. I am a grandmother, a partner, a sister, a friend, a lover, a writer, a gardener, a walker, a reader, a mother. I look in the mirror and see my mother’s dark brown eyes, surrounded by lifelines, looking out at me.”
— Excerpt from Saved by Love: An incomplete memoir
gloria has recently published a memoir (Saved by Love) and a book of poetry (Musings in a pandemic and beyond).
gloria finds inspiration and solace in the natural world. she loves connecting through words and over tea. you are most welcome here. please stay a while and don’t forget to leave a note!
I am privileged to live on the shores of Georgian Bay, on the traditional territories of the Anishnaabe. These lands on which I celebrate life with family, friends and partners were also home to the Wendat, Haudosaunee and other Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before my arrival.
