Who is Margaret L. Been?

more-of-m-and-loves2

I’m a born-again Christian, a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, poet, free lance writer, aficionado of many creative crafts–and lover of life in beautiful Wisconsin. 

Since 1963 my poetry, essays, short fiction, and vignettes have been published in many news periodicals and magazines–including Grit, Country Living, and Time of Singing.

I have self-published a book of poems–Morning in My Eyes, and a collection of poetry and seasonal prose reflections–A Time under Heaven.

Along with reading and writing I love painting, spinning and knitting, walking, just being outdoors in God’s creation, and too many other delights to even begin mentioning.

    Hi Margaret,
    I have been checking your blogs to see what is new with you. Hope all is well with Joe & that you feel better from your sinus surgery. I imagine at times like these it is extra good to be close to family.
    With prayers & best wishes,
    Sallie

    Thank you, Sallie! Yes, with all that’s been going on it is great to be near family!

    We still have the northwoods in our hearts, though, and hope to spend several weeks there over the summer!
