My partner and I were in the Shenandoah Valley last weekend taking in the fall colors. While there we stopped in a little art gallery where I found some beautiful writing (books and framed poetry) by an exceptional author who never wrote until she went through some really bad stuff (her story was included with each piece). I spent an hour in this incredibly healing section of this gallery; I was awed by her work.

Anyway, I signed up for her daily poetry emails, and I wanted to share these with everyone here. Each morning I love checking my email and finding a new piece of such beautiful encouragement.

It's my hope to begin facilitating a writing group again, and I'm considering using this author's books as a foundation for that work.

Hopefully, I'm not violating any posting rules by including this here. If so, my apologies.

Peace,
writing
