I have been away for almost two weeks now, and in the meantime I have received some wonderful notes and messages. I can see all the new and beautiful deviations from my friends and watchers, that I plan on commenting on very soon. Many of you already know that it's not easy to stay caught up, but I'm going to give it my best and hopefully accomplish it in the next few days!



Thank you, to everyone for their positive comments and notes on my mother's health. I beleive that there's power in prayer and good thoughts, and the energy it supplies is a conduit for healing and lifting our spirits. Just a little can go a long way. I will keep you updated on her progress.



I am still very behind in thanking those who have faved my work recently. I plan to answer everyone, but it will take a little time. A big thank you goes out to all my special friends and to the new ones too, for their continued support!







A big thank you to all who graciously take the time to read my journal, comment on my work and continue to add them to their favorites. I appreciate you and your support!

^{Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity—it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
~John Keats}

Those who have kindly given gifts and dedications:






















Thank you all so much!




To those who have chosen to feature my work, past, present, and some even more than once:





I thank you all!
