@pam_schmid @BarlowAdams Love this 👏👏👏

"Your writing can devastate, it can save, but, at the end of the day, you are a facilitator, not a conductor. You have no real power apart from what the reader gives you." ✨ Sage advice from @BarlowAdams

@pam_schmid I support your team and your cause!! Way to go and keep on going!

Friends, I'm hoping to rustle up a team that will donate today to PeaceMaker MN, an organization working hard to end school bullying, harassment and violence. Kids need tools to deal with conflict; PeaceMakerMN is working to provide them. Thank you! ☮️❤️ peacemakermn.org

@pam_schmid Looking beautiful 👏👏💐👏👏

Sept 13, and the backyard garden still doesn't look half bad.🌸🌸 #WednesdayMotivation

@pam_schmid @River_Heron Congratulations!!! Wonderful to hear 🤩❤️🤩

It's a thrill to have my poem "Harvest at La Crau" included in this beautiful issue of @River_Heron ... just out today! riverheronreview.com/issue-62-1

@pam_schmid Congrats and what an honor!!!! you are amazing!!!

Such an honor to be included among this amazing crew of poets. ✨️🙏

@pam_schmid It sure seems to be particularly awful😆

Twin Cities folks: between the ice ruts and potholes, have the roads ever been as epically treacherous as they are right now??

@pam_schmid Happy Birthday to Butters!! Make sure she got a special treat!!

Our sweet, soulful Butters is 5 today, and she even put up with us serenading her.

@pam_schmid You are definitely back in St. Paul!!!

The view from my writing desk. The icicles just keep dripping and growing.

@pam_schmid The cactus seems to scream out “TOUCH ME!”

This is a barrel cactus. And if you happen to be hiking through the mountains near Tucson, it's a great idea to avoid the urge to touch it. 🌵😬

@pam_schmid What you plant/focus on GROWS!

THIS✨💖💐💐

@pam_schmid The sister bond, the pain, and the heartbreak never go away. Nor does her beautiful memory. Sending you extra hugs and much love today.

Remembering Patti, gone 27 years today, with what might be my all-time favorite picture of her and me, captured by our dad so many years ago. That ineffable, unshakable bond between sisters ~~ it never goes away. 💗💗

@PeaceMakerMN I gave to this organization because they are helping kids learn to be a peacemaker!

Our hearts are with the community of Uvalde, Texas. We must not become immune to these acts of violence. We must stand resolute in our commitment to peacemaking. We must continue our work; there is still much to do.

@pam_schmid You can do this!!!!

Back at my treehouse overlooking the Mississippi, where I'm fixing to recharge & make some serious progress on my memoir revisions over the next two days. Ready, set, go! #amwriting
