Honest and direct. Creative and outrageous. Thoughtful and incendiary.

Welcome to Spark and Spitfire where hell hath no fury like a woman inspired.

Here you’ll find observations and musings (both serious and humorous) about art, film, literature, sunrise walks with Mother Nature in nearby farmland, memoir, pets, spirituality, relationships, television, theater . . . okay, most anything . . . from a woman whose greatest gift is championing the underdog, and whose greatest weakness is not knowing when to shut up about it. I just can’t help myself.
