barren and wordless,
until it found its oasis,
with these writing wells:

  3. Oh my! You and I have quite a bit in common. I find inspiration in Maya Angelou too. I even have a poetry book of hers that I’m waiting to dive in. I’ve also read Mitch Albom and a couple of books by Nicholas Sparks. And Jason Mraz… love, love, LOVE him ❤ His songs can cheer me up no matter how down I feel. His songs are so inspiring and uplifting. Same with Sara Bareilles. But the best part is the smiles on everyone's face in those family photographs ❤ Nothing can top that 🙂

  8. I started a reply, then went to the sites of Jason Mraz and Sara Barailles because I don’t know their work so much. Then I lost what I had started. So if half a reply turns up somewhere, well, that’s how far I got. These persons are poetic and musical. Since you have those qualities in your work, it’s not surprising they inspire.

    I like the photos of your family, your friends, and your dear one. You two have great smiles, together! I’m happy you have such appealing folk (outside and inside) in your life and art.

    1. You are so right! 🙂 they are both wise, poetic, musical. They both write their own songs which are just beyond AWESOME! 🙂 Thank you!!!
