Good morning, my friends! I can’t believe it! Two years have flown by so quickly! Today is my blogiversary! I began this blog in 2013, with the intention of writing about current events, trending thoughts, etc., and realized that wasn’t the direction I really wanted to go in. In January 2014, I switched to sharing my poetry. I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did. It has brought so much satisfaction, joy and comfort to my life.

After 15 years in the wedding and event industry, I needed something soothing. I never considered sharing my poetry, something I’ve written for most of my life, until that moment.

My father-in-law, a published author himself (may he rest in peace), told me years ago that I should be published. Of course, being a 20-something, I sluffed it off and went on my way. I’m guessing he was right. Only took me 25 years to realize it!

Two years and five published books later (#5 is set to be released on October 31, 2015), I am blessed to be a part of a community of extraordinary people, people I share my innermost thoughts with, and who share theirs with me. I can’t thank you all enough for making me feel so welcomed!!

This ride is a blast! Now it’s party time!! Pass the metaphors, er um petit fours? Nah, metaphors taste better 🙂
