    Nancy Glascock Sneed

    Nancy Glascock Sneed is a retired teacher and school counselor. She always enjoyed the children’s literature she shared with her students. Now she has time to be a beach bum and write some stories of her own. Lynne Waters Griffey has a deep and enduring desire to bring beauty into our world.

It is her hope that those who view her paintings will feel a freedom of Spirit and smile.

      Swimming Between Continents

      Jun 4, 2021

      Today is the day that I swim between two continents. I’m ridiculously excited. A feeling that is mixed with nerves of anticipation and worry. Nothing new there then. The continents are actually only two kilometres apart but with the currents and the

      Surfing is often depicted as high stakes: big drops, cavernous barrels, racing sections, heavy hold-downs and waves of consequence. But this is not my surfing world. My surfing life is far less extreme. Warm, clear water, fun right-hand point breaks,
