Hello!

Welcome to my little reading nook. I'm pleased you've stopped by. Pull up a chair and relax while gazing at the stars. I hope you'll find something to touch your heart and perhaps even brighten your day. And since you've stopped by, say hey!

I promise I'll return the favor.

a little bit about me:

I'm an American living in Europe. My background is in the performing arts, music and theater. Besides my love of the written word, I'm also an aspiring artist. I enjoy all mediums, trying my hand at something new whenever possible. I'm married to a great Dutch guy, have a stepson and stepdaughter, and a toy poodle - Ms Sophia. Sometimes she helps me write a word or two

A few snippits of thought-

'Thoughts materialize from life's occurrences and add substance-

     like iridescent pearls on lily pads after rain.'  Sandi Alford

             Life is a cornucopia of inspiration! Sandi Alford

   If you can't be a poet, be a poem! 

When life brings lemons to the party, take out the blender

for pete's sake, and make lemonade! Sandi Alford

                       Prick the soul and it shall bleed, show it love

                         and it will love in return. Sandi Alford

Dare to dream, and make life a multi-colored fantasy! Sandi Alford

Life is too short!
Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly,
laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that

made you smile. Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we're here, we should dance!

will be adding more... 

                              The New Year

An empty canvas waits
to feel the brush strokes
of experiences drip
and pool upon its linen

in an arrangement of dreams,
new thoughts and outlooks-

heart’s ambrosial tears
multi-coloured and textured
with the beauty of life,
shall we paint it together?

-Sandi Alford 2006

Poems written for me by sweet angel friends. I am so honored,

              thank you from the bottom of my heart!

S he’s a sweetheart, a beautiful woman
A skillful writer graced with talent and humility
N ot to mention a great sense of humor and wit
D eep, thoughtful words she writes with sincerity
I n her poetry you will be at a loss of words

A lways penned with heartfelt emotions
L eaving your mouth drop in awe and wonder
F or she truly writes with earnest devotion
O ften I wonder where she gets her inspiration
R iddles she can even create so cleverly
D efinitely a writer who deserves an ovation

Such sweetness in a person found
About Sandi this poem now is bound
No person here could deny what’s seen
Devoted to poetry Sandi's goal has been
Inspiring us all with heart and soul

A friend so sweet her heart so true
Love for life comes shinning through
Feather Goblinweb to her pixie friends
Of her heart she shares with us no end
Remarkable person in life to know
Delighted to meet her heart and soul
