Yes That's Me!

The Best of Intentions

When Saskatoon's new Remai Modern art museum opened three years ago, I stood in that sunny eclectic Art & Design Store and said to myself, "I need to write a book they will put in this store."

I'm not an artist and I didn't have a subject in mind, but there it was, my intention went out into the universe of all possible things...


Two years ago, my publisher called me all excited. He'd heard a documentary with Thelma Pepper on CBC Radio and he wanted ME to write a book about Thelma.

A little over a year ago, Thelma and I started working on the book of her life and photography. Yesterday, I signed a stack of those books and set them out for sale in the Art & Design store at Remai Modern.

Funny how that works sometimes. Thank you Thelma and thank you universe 💞

That's really interesting how it played out for you. A few years ago I saw a display of quilts at McNally and said "I am giving my mom a memory quilt for birthday". I did not quilt but i learnt how and gave her a gift she still cherishes 15 years later. I have subsequently given away a lot of quilt gifts: baby ones, chemo cancer ones, memory ones after the death of a loved one and cherished ones for my grandchildren. Not the same level of what Thelma did but they are my gifts from my heart and I take great delight in the process.
