I write for the heart and
from the heart.
Curiosity is what moves my pen.
I write to stay deeply connected:
to the beautiful mystery of life,
to those who read my words,
and to the magical world we share.
This book grew from a curiosity: If we are 70 percent (or more) water, how might the words we speak, to ourselves and to others, affect the water we are? What happens when a word is spoken to water and frozen?
This book began as part of another one. As I chose each word for The Word Shoppe, I spoke it aloud to water. Then I froze it and photographed the result. The water I chose was from Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada. For four months, I returned to the same place, freezing water daily. The images that emerged are playful and surprising, an artistic conversation with water. Each word revealed its own signature pattern. Together, the images reminded me that words carry energy, and that energy takes form. What you will find here is a collection of images and quotes, the record of that living exchange.
The Word Shoppe Series:
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
When Lila moves to a new city for university, she never expects a simple invitation to tea from her Grandmother to change everything. But tucked inside The Word Shoppe, among gilded books and jars filled with glowing words, Lila embarks on a yearlong journey, one word at a time.
Each week for a year, her Grandmother presents her with a single word, unlocking hidden wisdom, forgotten truths, and the magic of language itself. Lila learns that words are not just sounds, but keys—each one unlocking something buried deep within her. Every book unfolds one season at a time, a love letter to the magic of words.
What readers are saying:
“See you in summer at the word shop—that was so beautiful, so magnificent, I can't wait for the next season!”
“This series is beautiful. Also: “My body isn't just reacting to the world. It's in conversation with it - I love this” 🥰
The Word Shoppe is a feel-good series for readers who loved the timeless wisdom of The Four Agreements, the charm of The Dalai Lama’s Cat, and the enchantment of The Dictionary of Lost Words.
