C.I. Information – November 2025
The following are some ways to get involved with and support Creative Inspirations.
I hope you will consider any of these opportunities:
- Glory to God! My book of poetry, seasons of wonder: nature is complete. It is a small book, but I am proud of the poems put forth in it. I hope you will consider purchasing a copy and sharing some feedback with me
- “Poetic Discussions” – Haiku poem activity instructions
- “Spotlight” Interview – Melanie M. Eyth
- The website now has its own page for the products for purchase by Creative Inspirations. Go to the “C.I. Products” page under the “More” tab / There you will find my new book of poetry: seasons of wonder: nature, “Thinking of You” cards, and holiday post cards
- I am now on the social media site, Bluesky. If you are there and would like to connect, you can find me there by my handle, @ci-poetry.bsky.social, or type Creative Inspirations in the search box. I am excited about being here and hope to connect with many of you there.
