What an apt last prompt at dVerse: A Kwansaba poem in praise of family --I love it. Thanks. I wish you all Joyous Celebrations and the company of people you love to share it.
I'm ashamed of how long I dragged my feet with this book. I hope you forgive me, and in the same breath want to invite you to read my story of discovery and vulnerability in this book review. Kudos to the author of Victorine: A book that I will forever hold dear.
If you're feeling sad today, I wish to offer you a little wisdom I gathered from a sunflower today. Know you're not alone and perk up in the knowledge that Sunflowers do grow in winter. Happy Holidays, my friends.
On Friday, December 10th, I had the greatest honor of being featured at The Skeptic’s Kaddish in a poetry partnership. So today I'm so excited to invite you to take a peek. Perhaps you too would like to participate? Do it with my blessing, dear friends.
Change what you can change accept the unchangeable know the difference untwist distorted thinks with realistic expectations manage emotions create habits that serve Speak only if it improves upon the silence Therein lies serenity

A red-legged, pale grasshopper, her life’s purpose completed, came to say ‘sayonara’ to me, and I saw beauty in the encounter: how beautiful this cycle accepted with reverence. May we learn more from these fragile creatures whose offspring we'll see in the summer.

Do me a favor, rebloggers, reblog this one. Thanks. I'm learning to navigate the blogger sphere as well. Let's help each other and make courtesy and kindness attractive again. Mutual respect, remember? xo

This is what I learned today: "a Conceit is a comparison whose ingenuity is more striking than its justness” and that “a comparison becomes a conceit when we are made to concede likeness while being strongly conscious of unlikeness." Wow. I wonder how I did...
This post is inspired by the "It's not easy being green: other things to consider" quotes by Jim Henson. With a Senryu and Pixabay photos, I hope to add value to you today. And I hope these words reach our COP26 leaders. Amen.
I love to get the exposure, but I know from a stint as an editor of an online pub once that there's a right way and a wrong way of reblogging someone else's words. Please, let's not be tolerant of wrong practices. Words matter.
