Margaret Merle Dean has gone by Maggie since birth and uses her full name to remember her beloved great Aunt Barbara Merle, whom she was named after.She has been working as a teacher for just shy of a decade. Some years ago she found herself avidly writing through an immersive prayer journey. These prayers seemed to have morphed into poetry, ever to her surprise. Her heart is for all the things she writes to evoke in others their own unique experience of God. She prays and believes that the Holy Spirit will continue to create beauty in her work for others and she's an avid believer that creative works gives birth to new creative works. In reading her work, may you find yourself in the midst of making new creations as well.
