Welcome to “Musings” by Trina Astor-Stewart.
I write about Creative People, Culture, Food, Art, and Changing times in my newsletter. I’ll send you my latest poem, a short story, an illustration, a delicious gluten-free recipe, or another food-related topic. Cheery notes with some ideas to entertain you, give you a laugh, or share something thought-provoking.
Substack Newsletters are a fun way to keep in touch with friends and make even more. Thank you for subscribing!
I’ll send you cheery notes.
Articles that may inspire you
—that’s why we all read, right?
If not, boo, hoo!
Imaginative Posts…
I hope you find them fun reads.
Some things —positively lovely,
I won’t mire you down in murky weeds.
Want to see my latest poem?
A sketch, a picture, or a delicious recipe?
Perhaps a moment in a garden
Simple ideas sent to you-it-y.
Or will it be a short story?
Or a long, long book
That you can take along with you
To sit among the wildflowers or some summer watery nook.
Sometimes, in your inbox, you’ll find
Some other artists’ unique perspectives
About their world —they’re worth sharing
These writers, musicians, and insightful creatives.
So partake to your heart’s content.
Comment, please… or not.
Keep silent or shout.
Write me letters as you want.
Who am I, you ask,
Just an ordinary soul
Trying to keep up with changing times
With an open mind, staying whole.
So join me on a roller-coaster ride
As we trudge up-hill-ie
Then, we throw up our arms in glee
Wind wafting by us, laughing heartily.
Long ago, I began writing articles for a local newspaper. Alas, the newspaper no longer publishes its prose—gone, it is—just like my teenage years. Still, a fine career unfolded eclectically as a professional photographer and artist. I taught classes, mentored others, engaged in history occasionally, and even directed a small museum.
So here I am, having published some children’s books and almost 300 gluten-free recipes in a cookbook, Gluten-Free, You Can Do It. My stream of thought grows steadily as I muse on Substack and these other places.

Life is full of engaging experiences, and writing is a pleasant and creative endeavor for me. It is humbling to know how many people read what I find a joy to write.
I enjoy life, my family, meeting new people, and sharing with others.
May your day be filled with Grace,
