Princess Tazia
INTRODUCING
MY FIRST GREAT-GRANDCHILD!


Tazia Alexis Bennett
Born March 5, 2009

Winner of the 2007 Coalition of Visionary Resources People's Choice Award! IT MUST BE DONE... A few years ago I found myself involved in a story that needed telling, and so I set a lot of other things aside and began gathering snippets, writing drafts, outlines and chapters. It took a couple of years, but finally The Song of an Emerald Dove was completed -- and won an award. The wonderful reviews that I have received for it are important to me because it is a very important story and, although fictionalized in the book, it is a crusade of mine. Writing with purpose has become my passion and it is my crusade to "gather the ladies."
I'm very excited that the messages in Dove are causing a groundswell movement among women who share my concern for the health and survival of the planet. As a result I have created a line of products that can be worn or displayed to announce to others of like mind that we share a common bond. You can see these accessories and also purchase a signed copy of Emerald Dove at the RETAIL site.

I worked with jewelry designer Fran Davis on a line of visionary pieces sure to find their way into your prized collection. Fran is the moving force behind Verd'amore.
Available Now! The Emerald Dove Collection and more!

The Herbal Magick Collection Celebrate! Celebrate!! Celebrate!!!

Three of my herbal pentagram designs have been picked up by Pyramid this season! And reordered!!

Here's what their catalog has to say:

Healers and herbalists will recognize the leafy centerpieces of these distinctive pendants: sage (Salvia officinalis, the herb of healing), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium, promoter of vision and prophecy), and vervain (Verbena officinalis, for love). Antiqued sterling silver. 1" long.

Be sure to visit Pyramid soon!


The Seven Sisters -- Women from All Backgrounds, Unite!
Join with Your Sisters

Women who have heretofore felt sequestered shall now reach out, sharing messages of hope, peace, and love throughout the world.
 
Who are the Seven Sisters? They are women from all walks of life, of multitudinous ethnic backgrounds and many spiritual paths. They are the women who have been called together by the messages in The Song of an Emerald Dove. It is these women whom I wish to reach out to, to involve in the important work that is being laid before us. It is for these women -- for you and your sisters -- that Fran, Laura, and I are creating symbolic jewelry, art, and other materials to create a bond among us all. The movement to empower women is experiencing a shift in emphasis. No longer is the focus individual, personal empowerment. Now we -- as a group -- must take our rightful places to lead the world toward a more sustainable peace and a reverence for life and the future that we alone can make manifest. Please join us.
 
Before I forget, I want to give you the web site of the nursery where you, too, can obtain your very own plant of the Passiflora that you see in bloom above. It is called "Incense" and it has a marvelous fragrance -- and it's hardy up to Zone 7. Go to Logee's to learn more about it.
 
More than thirty years ago I was inspired by a life vignette that I encountered on the highway while I was traveling to work on a drizzly day. That image stuck in my mind for a very long time and I vowed to turn it into a country song in the tradition of Kris Kristofferson. In March 2009 I finally sat down day after day until I had molded it all into a lyric. My problem now is that I 1) don't write music and 2) have my very own way of "singing." That means I need a true country musician who can write a score/melody for my future CMA "Song of the Year." A friend of mine out in Nashville also says that, unless I pick up my pace, my body of work is really going to suffer!
Meanwhile, the caricature side-line has really taken off! You can use this innovative gift idea to solve your "what can I get for the person who has everything" problem. Use this link to head over to my Graphics Goddess web site and see if this is an idea you can use:

ANNOUNCING MY NEPHEW'S MAJOR SUCCESS!

Jason Michael Webb has co-authored a soon-to-be-on-Broadway INTERACTIVE play! It's due for production in late-2009 or early 2010. Now I can become both a proud aunt and a name-dropper! Read this.
I continue to organize my book-signing tour with the help of my publisher. I've been so involved in spreading the word about The Song of an Emerald Dove that I haven't had time to do much else. I have already been able to travel to the Midwest, Florida, Long Island NY, and New England. I am very happy that it is reaching so many people. The tour has bogged down, though, so tell your local bookseller to give me a call!

CURRENT MOON

 
I successfully fit in my annual camping trip to the wilds of New Hampshire this past summer -- where the temperature falls to 40 º many nights! That way I get to reconnect with old friends who share those things I've just written about up above. And I get to come home and appreciate New Jersey weather!
