Here's to 2024!!!

 

This everlasting flame of friendship was given as a symbol of good tidings for the best in 2024. I am very thankful for the blessings I have been given. 

Time is fleeting, so never waste a moment to enjoy life.  

In commemoration of my latest book release, Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose, this candle reminds me of a poem titled: 

"First Fig"

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

My candle burns at both ends;

It will not last the night;

But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—

It gives a lovely light!

 

 

Happy New Year! 2024!!!

 

Holiday Greetings from Me to You

 

 

I hope the next year and the years to come will be prosperous for us all.

Wow! The years really do go by in an instant, don’t they?

Book Release - Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose

 

It’s finally here! My next book.

I never thought this day would come. I appreciate the form of poetry; however, I’ve written poems for a long time, and the collection was building. After publishing Miss Virginia and the Sweet Sisters and writing blog posts, I decided to do something with the collection of words written in the form of poetry, prose, and personal musings. 

To borrow a line I heard recently: some of these works are inspired by my own experiences, but driven by my imagination. I couldn’t have said it better. To read what the collection is about, please read on.

Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose is now available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback form. I hope you purchase a copy just in time for Christmas!
