“As a travel enthusiast, the pandemic has reduced my excursions. Reading visualizations of another place allowed me to travel while in the luxury of my own home.” Judith Marged, Ed.D., Associate Online Professor
In August of 2020, my husband Gordon and I took a road trip, escaping the heat of South Florida. Our destination was the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia.
The scent of Mountain Flowers,
The sound of rustling leaves by Tree Neighbors,
Visions of the Smoky Mountains under a Canopy of Stars…
The Blue Ridge Mountains inspired these beautiful poems and more.
My creativity as words were shuffled and poems were born.
My camera captured the beauty of the countryside. Travel with me…

HAPPY EVER AFTER: A PANDEMIC TALE
This children’s book is a tale about a time when the beach
and town were closed because of the pandemic. The beach and town are reopened when the pandemic is gone.
The main characters are Speedy Seagull with the superpower of flying super-fast, TimmyTurtle, and their 2 unicorn friends. It is a fully illustrated book. A Words to Review or Glossary of terms is included.
This book is based on the short story The Day the Unicorns Came to Delray Beach, receiving first runner-up status in November 2020 in the Delray Beach Pen to Pandemic short story contest.
It is my hope that this book starts conversations with kids about living through the pandemic.

July is National Anti-Boredom Month
Celebrating Spoken Word, Poetry, & Storytelling
Edutainment = Educate + Entertainment
July is National Anti-Boredom Month. No boredom and having fun with my Spoken Word & Storytelling presentations.
I have combined all of my passions and talents, bringing you Spoken Word Edutainment.
Edutainment, educate, and entertain. This was the challenge I accepted to do a Spoken Word poem and storytelling about the Heart and heart disease. The research was very interesting. The audience at The Meridian agreed I met the challenge. Great edutainment!
“Your Heart is Your Home Story” is, an original poem about the history of the heart shape, St. Valentine, and the human heart.

Marlene, how thoughtful of you…to send me an interesting article as well...I am of course going to miss our conversations about our families, your AAFP journals with highlighted articles, seeing you so animated and excited about your latest literary creations, and so much else. But what I will miss the most is a wonderful human being that has dedicated her life to serving others. You have taught me much.
