About Me

Welcome to A Heart’s Delight

Because the best chapters are often still unwritten.

Hi, I’m Michelle Fizzard — writer, photographer, dreamer, and proud midlife woman embracing the art of becoming.

A Heart’s Delight is a space for women ready to reconnect with what lights them up.

A place to remember that we are not meant to dim over time —
we are meant to shine brighter.


The Story Behind This Space

I was born and raised on the rocky, windswept coast of Newfoundland — a place where storytelling runs deep and resilience lives in every tide.

Now living in Ottawa, I’ve spent decades as a teacher. But deep down, I’ve always been a creator.

For years, I poured my heart into caring for others — my family, my students, my never-ending to-do list. But there was always a quiet voice inside me whispering:

“There’s more.”
More stories to tell.
More joy to feel.
More me to live.

So, I finally listened.


What A Heart’s Delight Is All About

This blog is my love letter to creativity, courage, and soulful reinvention.

It’s for women — especially those in midlife and beyond — who are done waiting for the perfect time, and ready to begin again.

Here, you’ll find me:

  • Writing children’s books and chasing long-held dreams

  • Capturing everyday wonder through photography

  • Exploring creativity through drawing, knitting, and slow art

  • Moving my body to feel strong, grounded, and alive

  • Building a heart-led business rooted in storytelling and purpose


My Mission Is Simple

To help women like you:

  • Reclaim your voice and vision

  • Express yourself with joy, courage, and truth

  • Create art, stories, and a life that feels like you

  • Live boldly and soulfully — starting right now

Because it’s never too late.
You’re not behind.
You’re just getting started.


Let’s Find the Delight — Together

This isn’t a space for perfection.
It’s a place for permission.
To grow. To create. To come alive again.

If that speaks to your heart, stay close.
You belong here.
