"Bubbling up in our own good time-- online."
| Karen Wickham |
Biography:
I've lived in Veneta for about 10 years, moving here from Dallas Texas. Two years after I
moved, my Sweetie followed me here and we live on a lovely little 11/2 acre of paradise with
our Bichon dog, Bhakti and cat, Mew. By profession, I am a clinical social worker and am
currently working at the Center For Community Counseling. At this moment I am attempting to
make sense of recent major health crisis: Breast Cancer, mastectomy etc. I am just now
trying to sort out thoughts and journal them. I am curious what I might write! Essentially I
have only written for myself, a little poetry, lots of letters. When life experience converges
with my internal wisdom's insistent voice: "It is time to write it down.", then I do. I have never
had anything published except for occasional letter to the editor. I wrote a piece for "This I
Believe" but it was not accepted. I taught an Artist Way class through Lane Community
College based on Julia Cameron's book by the same title for several years. I loved teaching
this class and it is, of course all about journaling. I have a fantasy of writing a book about
aging and have written some but have not yet exercised the discipline to really go to it.
Recently I read my piece on "Winter" to a small gathering because each was supposed to
bring something they had created and share it with the group. It was very scary for me to do
that! People there told me about Groundwaters and suggested I contact you so here I am.
