The Person You Decide To Be
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

You’re Right

Ah, the Joys of Publishing
No, I won’t go off on a rant here. Although, that would be easy enough to do, considering the subject. But, I will spare you. 🙂
Those of you that have your work published in places other than WordPress are familiar with the need to give the publishers UNpublished work. I do have a problem with accomplishing this.
I’m not as prolific a writer as many of my friends here at WP are. I consider it a good week if I can post something here 3 or 4 times a week. But this doesn’t mean that I was necessarily write what you see here on each of those days. I share quotes or other people’s work as well.
This brings me to my point. (I hear you saying, “Finally“!) I am going to spend more time compiling some UNpublished work in order to submit for publishing. Therefore, you will not be seeing as much of my own work here.
I have been very fortunate to have had some of my poetry published online as well as in print. You can check out my Publications Page HERE if you would like to know more. But my efforts have been hit & miss.
My intention is to be more focused in that pursuit. You will still see me here. I can’t seem to stay away, even when I want to!
Thank you to all of you that follow me and put up with my sometimes rambling, nonsensical posts!

How Much the Heart Can Hold
When I Want To Roam
“There’s a place I travel when I want to roam, and nobody knows it but me. The roads don’t go there and the signs stay home, and nobody knows it but me. It’s far, far away and way, way afar, it’s over the moon and the sea and wherever you’re going that’s wherever you are. And nobody knows it but me.”

Don’t Worry So Much
“Please don’t worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth.  Life is fleeting. And if you’re ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day… make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular.”
–The Movie Jack, starring Robin Williams

REBLOG: Please don’t miss Audrey’s informative post!Â
…I THOUGHT I WAS such a good mother. I baked a cake and a pie every night. Or at least had Jell-O with whipped cream. That quote from Mimi Galvin, mother of 12, struck me as particularly personal and profound in a 377-page book focusing on one family’s experiences with schizophrenia. Six of Mimi and […]
