Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast
(and maybe more)
A workshop with Wendy Morton
on February 29 in Nanaimo

Dear Friends:
I’m very excited to be hosting a workshop with Wendy Morton when she’s in town next month. Wendy believes in the impossible and encourages dreamers of all sorts to make positive change based on flights of fancy. Join me in this workshop designed to show writers and non-writers alike, how you can turn your dreams for your lives into reality, how to promote your writing, your ideas, your gifts to the world.
Since meeting her in March of 2006, I have been amazed and inspired at the wonder of Wendy Morton. Now you can be too. Wendy will show you how to fly!
Here are the pertinent details. There is more information below about Wendy and some links to further inspiration about her work.
Best wishes,
Mary Ann Moore

In Alice In Wonderland, Alice says to the Queen, “there is no use in trying, one can’t believe in impossible things. ” The Queen responds, “I daresay you haven’t had much practice. When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why sometimes, I’ve believed in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
When Wendy Morton decided to believe in impossible things, the world opened up for her, and she took to heart Mary Oliver’s wonderful question, from her poem “The Summer Day”, “ Tell me, what is it you plan to do/with your one wild and precious life?”
She has relentlessly taken poetry out of bookstores and coffeeshops, out into the street, --even into the air!—bringing corporate sponsors, poets and audiences together in new ways. She has been sponsored by WestJet Airlines, DaimlerChrysler, Prairie Naturals Vitamins, Fujifilm, Abebooks, Viva skin care. She has 4 books of poetry, and a memoir. She believes in the impossible and encourages dreamers of all sorts to make positive change based on flights of fancy.

When we walk to the edge
of all the light we have
and take that step
into the darkness
of the unknown,
we must believe
that one of two things
will happen:
there will be something
solid for us to stand on
or we will learn how to fly.
