Kitty O’Meara
Kitty O’Meara and her husband, Phillip Hagedorn, live in Full Moon Cottage, on a river and a bike trail, with their dogs, cats, gardens, books, a tiny kitchen where they have many cooking adventures, and a large art space and workshop, where they love to play with words, plants, wood, paint, photography, stained glass, and other interesting objects. Most days, while the puppies nap, Kitty writes poems and stories with help from her sweet cats. Most nights, Kitty and Phillip read, or watch movies, or Phillip plays his guitar and sings, and Kitty and the dogs and cats join in, and when there is a full moon, Kitty and Phillip like to dance in its light and celebrate their happy life. It’s the life Kitty dreamed about when she was a child, and is grateful for every day.
