Sunday Fatback, Second-to-Last Chance Ladies, & more- June 2024
Sunday Fatback, Recent Events, The Fool's Calling Tarot Course, Writing Update, & so much more!
Y’all, I am so excited and grateful! So many wonderful events are upcoming, and it’s been a crazy busy month of wonder since my last newsletter. Let me fill you in!
First, I’m so honored to have another of my creative nonfiction works published this week in Salvation South. Here’s the link to “Sunday Fatback.” I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it makes you think, and perhaps see the world from a different perspective.

Second, one of the aspects of writing that I most enjoy is connecting with other writers. I’m blessed to have writer friends from around the globe and just down the street. Two poet friends and I are hosting a monthly “Poetry & Prose Open Mic” during the summer in collaboration with Quarter Moon Books, Gifts, & Wine on Topsail Beach, North Carolina. If you’re in the area, please come read your work, or come listen, and enjoy a cool summer drink with us!
Third, the nonprofit theater company with which I work, Big Dawg Productions, just closed a nearly-sold out run of “The Second-To-Last-Chance Ladies League.”
I was cast in this comedy as Sedalia, the feisty old woman who has sold her stately wedding venue to a retiring judge and who wants to continue to run the business her way. Chaos and laughter ensue. I am always honored when cast in a show, and what fun this one was!
I’m so happy to connect with you and I’m grateful that you have taken a course with me and subscribe to this newsletter! If you missed my last newsletter, you can read it here.

Do you seek new ways to learn about yourself and the world around you? For hundreds of years, Tarot symbols have been a gathering place for world beliefs and a source through which we can discover common ground among us and within aspects of ourselves. Tarot offers an exploration of myths and legends, and of cultures and beliefs, that are as old as time and as modern as this moment. For many years, the symbols of Tarot have guided my travel to the world around me, and to myself. Tarot can guide you too on your journey to self.
Venture deeply with me into the myths, legends, beliefs, and cultures of Tarot in this exciting self-paced 38-week course! Tarot wisdom guides your path to your deepest self, while this esoteric knowledge hides in plain sight on the 78 keys of traditional Tarot.
NEW to Tarot? No problem! This course lays the foundation for a deep exploration of the knowledge that supports the meaning of Tarot. This course is not a course in divination or using intuitive skills but rather grounds you in the underpinnings of the time-honored meanings of the keys.
Here are some questions this course answers:
Why on some keys do we see Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman symbols? How do they work together?
How does learning the mythology related to the keys enhance my understanding of symbols on the keys?
Why do some symbols, such as flowers, pillars, and feathers, repeat on various keys?
What do landscapes and buildings tell us about our journey through Tarot?
What do the symbols teach me about myself?
AND SO MUCH MORE!

Just One More Thing Before You Go
“…Daddy and I walk, searching the marsh edge for flounder… To my child’s eyes, we are walking in a gigantic aquarium, and my shuffling feet warn flounder of our approach. What life beneath the water! Seahorses dance among algae fronds attached to dock pilings. Blue crabs scurry with claws extended like swords. Hermit crabs inside elegant tulip shells edge through the mud. Shrimp float by unaware of our presence. Minnows dart.” -from “Sunday Fatback” by Deb Bowen
published in Salvation South
