Who is QuoinMonkey: A quoin (rhymes with coin) is an expandable wedge used to support or anchor. Quoins are used by printers to hold the hand-set type in place in a printer’s chase; as cornerstones to anchor a building wall; or as keystones of an arch. A monkey is playful and mischievous. But monkey mind jumps from thought to thought, is not present or grounded, and her escapades create busyness that keeps her away from her true heart. QuoinMonkey is a writer who anchors monkey mind through practice in order to find her true heart. She’s a Southern-born writer, oldest of 6, who sweats volumes in the -27 degree winters of Minnesota. She's working on developing a thicker skin. Please, by all means, tell her what you think.
