It's the 2nd annual #ClassicsTober next month! We thought we'd post the prompts a bit earlier this year!
It was so inspiring and exciting to see all your writing, photos, artwork and more last year, and @drcorabeth and I can't wait to see what this year will yield...

This human in Fredericton, NB, touched my heart today. He told me that during the whole pandemic time he relied on my work to find hope and joy. Then he said that he decided to visit me so that I could hear his words in-person, face-to-face. I am humbled and speechless ❤️🙏🏽
