If you are a duck in the lake,

Kathleen Furstnau

Kathleen Furstnau began writing poetry as a part of the grieving process for the sudden death of her husband. After sparingly sharing these poems, she was encouraged by many to share more broadly. She launched poem piecesTM her poetry on canvas business and beginning blog. Again sensing from others the need to continue sharing, she published a series of ebooks called the Moving Into: Poems to Ponder Series. She has worn many career hats and defined many roles as a current septuagenarian. Her life experience is found in the depth of insight found in these poems. Woven into the intent and verbiage of many of them is her deep faith in God. She treasures life and it is her aim to love at least one person well. She is a mom/stepmom to six and a delighted grandma to 8. She lives with her new husband in Auburn Hills MI.
