Welcome to the Pondering Pool,

a rather unusual body of water which arose naturally from the comical way of healing I shared with my sister.

My characters – imperfect, funny, relentlessly honest, and in various stages of struggle and healing – have been passionately embraced for their ability to give voice and acceptance to a great many people who have gone without. They revel in the beauty of their imperfections, with the firm belief that being different isn’t a flaw but a blessing. As you wade through the site and become acquainted with their unique voices and gentle manner, you’ll understand why these characters have inspired a tremendously devoted following.

“Your cards have become a sort of healing for me. It sounds strange, but after I read
your cards I am able to put aside the mask I create and just be me for a while.
You inspire me to be more honest with myself. Thank you.”
~Kristine Stone-Baland
