Oddly Connected
An acrostic poem of connection to my mom
Many days throughout the year,
I think of you and what we have
Shared, not only as family, but as
Souls--women who have struggled hard.
Yearning for unconditional love and acceptance,
Ours were not the easiest of roads to traverse.
Until we become older, we do not realize just how
Much we share with others that is so
Ordinarily alike. Yet, the human aspect connecting a
Mother and a child is also remarkably complex.

Are You Being Kind to Mother Earth?
Throughout my 68 years of life, I have had some moments when I am more aware, and a better steward of what this Earth provides for me. I have not always been very successful, but I genuinely strive to do better, waste less, and be more sensible and responsible.
