About Me
- Name: 'Zann
- Location: Terre Haute, Indiana, United States
Professor's widow, mother of four, zannma to two. Grew up in Coral Gables, Florida, transplanted to Indiana at age 40, where I saw my first snow and learned to love wool. We homeschooled three of the kids, I helped to create a used bookshop ( Wabash River Books 1996-2005)and became an online bookseller. I started this blog in 2005 to share my mid-life artwork (primarily fiber), poetry and creative explorations. On March 18, 2006 my 20 year-old son Patrick died...and my world irrevocably changed.
On January 7, 2024, my beloved husband Paul Burkett died...and my world irrevocably changed.
I own 73 years now. Life is still very mysterious, magickal, beautiful and sweet and sad.

Bless you Zann, my thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow.
'zann; I am so very sorry for youe loss -- words fail me.
Thank you all so much!
We can truly feel the outpouring of love and sympathy from online friends as well as the in-person friends who are filling our table with food and holding us and getting drenched with our tears.
I wrote to other friends: you may think your words are not adequate, but every one of them puts a buffer of kindness and love up against the pain. Bless you, thank you, hugs,

The world needed more music and bright, inspiring people. My heart goes out to you at the loss of your son. No parent should ever have to out live their child. I hope you have lots of family and close friends nearby now. Sincerely, Heide
Blessings and thoughts to you.
No one should have to feel this loss.
Sweet 'Zann - I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Words cannot possibly be adequate - but Zann I am so very sorry for your enormous loss. You are and will be in my thoughts.

'Zann -- Ken and I were so sorry to hear of your enormous loss. Words fail, but know that you and your family are in our hearts -- as you are in the hearts of so many people, and as your son will always be in your own heart.
