About Moi

When you Smile, the world smiles

Francie

Channeled Chimes was born from a glow that ripples, tickles and soars through my being, at the majesty of simply inhabiting the earth in this body at this time with all of its creatures and creations and you. Thank you for joining me! Shall we dance?

I am a writer, including screenplays, a poet, a tapestry artist , a teller of stories, a singer of songs, who lives in a cottage by the sea. I have been a teacher,

an actress, a children’s theater director, a counselor for women with breast cancer, a grief counselor, a massage therapist, a filmmaker and a rollerblade champion.

I grew up in South India and Sri Lanka, and have lived in such colorful places as New Orleans, Charleston, Boulder, Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Minneapolis, New England and Malibu.

I have two grown daughters that I raised alone, I have four grandchildren, at different times I have had three golden retrievers and I look forward to having another!

In the birthday greeting words of an old friend:

“You are a wonder, you are light, you are a free spirit, a meditative soul, and a magical mamgee. When I think of you, I see you flying high, the whole world far below.
You skate with abandon, you have the heart of a child, and you see the world through the eyes of a poet. You are a craftsman of words, a teller of tales, and a dreamer of dreams. This Earth is a far richer and more joyful place because of your birth!”

I am herewith acknowledging Norman, my former husband and forever soulmate and heart’s friend for creating this website.

We are all blessed!
