2018 is starting out to be a good year! I have some exciting news I’d like to share with all of you! For the past year, I have been trying to find an illustrator for one of my children’s bedtime poems.  It can be a difficult task! Imagine my surprise when I found one right under my nose! I have a very talented friend who will be illustrating my book. Our first meeting is this Thursday and I am so looking forward to it!

The other news….I’ve been asked by an up and coming author, to co-write her book, as well as edit it. This totally blew me away. Her storyline is fascinating. We have another meeting later this month, one I am really looking forward to!!

So, that’s it for now, although I have my own novel still in the works, as well as the rest of the “Seasons” series, and several other poetry books! Phew!

Bring it on 2018!! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!

Thanks for sharing my excitement!!

This Spam is Out of Control!

I’m wondering if all of you are experiencing the same thing I am.  There were an abundance of new followers, each with an Outlook email address (red flag).  Well, don’t get your hopes up.  they’re mostly spammers.

I have been in touch with WordPress, who assures me their engineers are working on the problem.  Uh huh…meantime, I have already sent 6-7 comments to spam, and this is just today.  It’s been going on for 3 days.

Should you experience this yourself, might do some good to email WP with the info (email & IP show in your comment section).  Perhaps it might speed things up a bit.  All I know is I do not have the time to keep deleting or marking them as spam.

Sorry, rant over…

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday   ❤

Wow, it’s been 4 years!

Good afternoon/evening/morning!

I hope the day is bringing you much joy!

Today, I celebrate four years since publishing my first piece of poetry on WordPress.  What an amazing journey it has been for me,  I have met the most wonderful people, have been inspired by so many more, and look forward to what  2018 has in store for me.

Technically, I began my blog in October 2013, but didn’t share any poetry until January 8, 2014.   So does that make today my Poemversary or my Poetday? lol

Thank you, to all of you, for your love and encouragement.  I know I’ve said it before, but I hope you all realize how much it means to me.  Your comments, likes and friendship, make my heart sing   ❤

He: What do you want for Christmas?

Me: Nothing. I have everything I need.

He: Are you sure?

Me: Yes. We spent the day together, shopping,
dining, and just enjoying. I can’t think of a
better gift than that.

He: I agree. We must do it again. Soon

 

This is a true story.  My husband & I opted to not exchange gifts this year, rather spend more time together just enjoying life.  It was truly a beautiful day, with many more to come.   🙂
