Creative Prompt #2 for 100 Women | 100 Oceans

6/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Hello Dear Ones:

If you're feeling inspired, keen or simply soulful, here is one easy way to dip your toe in this summer to begin exploring your contribution
 (optional, of course) for the 100 Women | 100 Oceans project - expected start date, late September 2025:

Reflect and respond
Consider how living rurally—and your connection to land, water, and community (or the absence of it)—shapes your identity as a woman and a mother. You're invited to send a thoughtful reflection, along with an optional high-resolution selfie, in response to this question: “What does it mean to YOU to be a rural mother, a mother of a child with difference from the so-called-norm, a disability, a lone parent or co-parent, or a parent with a hidden disability raising a child with differences (like me)?”

​I'm working on my answer too!

Creative Prompt #1 to Send in your expression on motherhood in the koots

6/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Here is one easy way to dip your toe in this summer as you consider your rural parenting journey so far (optional, of course):

​Send your creative expression
Share a letter, poem, journal entry, short story, grocery list, photo, video, collage—whatever form best expresses your truth about rural motherhood in the Kootenays. Submissions may be thoughtfully selected for inclusion in a future book, exhibit, or digital gallery.

Best to send attachments to [email protected].

I'm working away on my abstract selfies with my phone by the lake this month. Feeling excited!

While the official start date is still September 2025, I thought I’d send you a little something to stir the creative tide. Here’s what’s floating your way:
