Explore the Wonder!
The main purpose of this blog is to explore the wonder of writing. I'm hoping kids of all ages (well, from 8 years old or so on up) will read it and try out some of my challenges. I'm having fun with it so far! -- Mathilda Wheeler, WW-

Life as a Teeter Totter
I’ve been seeing a lot of these little cairns placed on my walks–on the beach, in the woods. Many, I think, are created by bored children who need a project when let loose to play without a playground or friends. … Continue reading
The Magic of YET
Hope can be hard—some people are better at it than others. They have strategies. A friend references Dory from Finding Nemo to keep herself and others motivated and amused: I have a husband who tears up when he relates episodes … Continue reading

“Spirit of Life”–that’s a big title for an occasional blog to tackle, but this April was quite an adventure in spirit for me. Years ago I painted my image of God. I think of God as the Life Force, the Chi … Continue reading
Large Heart, Large Hands
I’ve had this card taped to the door of my office for years. I so enjoy Susan Mrosek’s artistic creative whimsy (check out her website at http://www.ponderingpool.com ), but it’s the sentiment behind this card that captured me from the first. … Continue reading
VOICE: My Word for 2019
Despite my angst surrounding choices (see last month’s posting), VOICE quickly popped into my head as my word for 2019. If the concept of choosing a word to inspire you each year is new, check out “word for the year,” … Continue reading
Choice: the panic of a natural ditherer
I am one of the buzzards in the old Jungle Book movie who sit around shrugging. But with me, I take on the roles of all them. “What we gonna to do?” “I dunno. What YOU wanna do?” “I dunno. … Continue reading
