I can’t believe it! Five years have flown by and my little blog has an anniversary today.  It seemed only yesterday when I posted my first article, back when I wasn’t posting my poetry (That’s officially in January).

Of course, I wouldn’t be here without the support and friendship from so many in the WordPress community, family and friends.  I never dreamed I would make it this far, and yet, 13 books later, with #14 in my hands awaiting editing, I am still here.  I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our dear friend, Paul Lenzi, who left us far too soon.  He helped me in so many ways.  I would never be able to thank him enough.

And so, off to year six, and Lord only knows what it will bring!  Many thanks to all of you, for allowing me to share my thoughts (sometimes crazy ones) and cheering me on. Because of you, I am able to continue my dream.  See ya round the blogosphere!   ❤

#mythoughts, death, friend, Paul Lenzi, Poesy plus Polemics, poet, poetry, saddened

For all who have not heard, the poetry community lost an incredible man yesterday.

His son writes, “It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sudden passing of my father Paul Lenzi. He was the cornerstone of our family and will be missed dearly. He began this blog as an a creative outlet and as a way of sharing his poetry. He never imagined it would develop such a large following, and the overwhelming support he received from this community touched him deeply. On behalf of our entire family, thank you. We are proud of the legacy of words he left behind.”

Paul was a very dear friend, and an incredible human being.  He helped me when I first started sharing my poetry, always having kind words to encourage.  I am deeply saddened that I will not see his name in my inbox any longer, but I am hoping his family will keep his blog, “Poesy plus Polemics” up and running so that we may go back and reread the many wonderful words he has written.

Paul, your legacy will live on through your beautiful family and through us, as the poetry community, and especially me, will never forget you.

Sleep well, my friend.  I know God has you in his loving arms.  ❤

Should this warm your soul, please share.
