Now that July’s challenges are through

I have to find something else to do

I suppose, with this time

I could write you a rhyme

Or perhaps, a limerick or two

**********************************************

A HUGE Thank You to all who stuck with me while I took you on the crazy adventures of Agent N. Owl and her crew, and to all who grabbed bits and pieces of the story!  Remember, you can find it all here: On the Trail of a Mastermind

The end result? 13,195 words (phew) And ~M is still on the loose!!

But seriously…

I could not have done this without Michelle!!  Her writing prompts were the catalysts to this entire story.  I can’t thank her enough for doing these writing prompts every month, no matter how busy her schedule may be!

Bring on August!  I can’t wait!

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat

Like the pouring of the rain against this old house

Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world

On shoulders that held more than they should

Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life

Never a complaint, you just went about your day

And night couldn’t come soon enough for you

Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep

Before I even had the chance to say thank you

For making my world a much better place to live

And this I know, as time passes, and days fade

You will always be the light that guides me

Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

Hello everyone!!

I woke up this morning, which is definitely a great thing, signed into WordPress, and my jaw dropped! Over 3000 followers and over 200,000 views!  I’m at a loss for words.  Can you believe it?!

All kidding aside, I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me over these last four years.  Your encouragement through tough times, your compassion when I was able to express those times through my poetry, and of course, your friendship, is the reason I am still sharing my poetry.  This is a community of wonderful people, able to share stories, relate life experiences and yes, become friends outside of WordPress.  I am proud to be a member of this group!

Thank you, again, so much, for making my day that much brighter and so much fuller than I could imagine on my own!

Love to all

~Dorinda

heart-1577791_960_720Good evening (or morning if you’re on the other side of the pond)  🙂

I wanted to take a brief moment of your time to say thank you.  My life has been a bit chaotic lately, and I don’t always get a chance to comment on your blogs as much as I would like.  For that, I apologize but I know you all understand.

Yesterday was the third anniversary of the day I began my blog.  2013 was a whirlwind year for me, with many changes.  I took a chance and completely changed my career, to do what I’ve always loved best…write.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I didn’t know if I would be accepted. Honestly, I was scared to death.  This is where you all come in.  I have been blessed with the most amazing people I could ever find, many of you becoming dear friends over these past years.

So I say to all of you, I am extremely blessed to be part of this wonderful community.  I look forward to many years ahead with you, laughing, crying and doing what we love best, supporting each other in whatever endeavors we strive for.

Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, for making me feel like I am home  🙂

❤

Thank you cardI can’t say that enough, to all of you, who reached out to us, prayed for Alyssa, called, texted and messaged.  God heard you and answered, as he always does.  My daughter is fine.  She will always have to be aware of her symptoms, but she has a strong heart, in more ways than one. Her team of nurses and doctors were amazing, always guided by God’s mighty hands!

Thank you, two words that seem so very small, yet mean so very much….

Many Blessings to all of you ❤

Dorinda, Neil, Jon, and of course, Alyssa
