This blessing gave me strength through very hard emotional times. It’s also a lot of fun. My credentials for writing is a love for words, rhyming and life. I can never be Dr. Seuss and I don’t want to sound too obtuse, so to you may I introduce a middle-age old mother goose, explains it all. My love for God and our earth has given me the strength and wisdom needed to find inner peace. I dedicate this book to my mother, Jean. Her unconditional love and strength gave me the power to go on. She taught me to be independent, artistic and think outside the box. I can only hope to be half the person she was.view less
