My writing roots
Mary Olivia Patiño, MTS
Poetry, prose, and photography: these passions originated, when as a child growing up in the Texas Valley, imagination took flight before life on a dairy farm. There, wandering in the woods filled with encinos (Spanish oaks) and mesquite trees, a sense of mystery surrounded me.
Today, many years later, those passions still inspire my creativity and desire to share faith and praise God.
A Cup of Faith!
My artisanry extends to designing cards and
coffee cups
featuring nspirational/Biblical quotations.
I invite you to sip your favorite tea or coffee while you reflect on your own experiences and write! Whether alone, or in a group...

Writing and journaling help us 'explore' our spiritual wellspring. Joy and sometimes, if needed, inner healing surface.
Enter into the experience: write to remember, to create, or to leave a legacy.
We've discovered an immense sense of accomplishment and support in our faith-based writing group, 'Writing with Angels'.
