Last May I made a commitment to join the community of poets that write and share regularly. It has changed my life.
Instead of scratching my head and spending time thinking of what to write in my quiet times, I am full of ideas. So many of these ideas are taken directly from this community. And, my daily writing has increased in quantity and quality.
In January, I entered a postcard exchange coordinated by Poet Jone MacColloch for bloggers in the PF community. What a treat! For days I have enjoyed beautiful notes and gifts of poetry from such creative people. My life is richer for writing alongside these folks.
As I received postcards I would immediately use them as bookmarks….finding them all to get a photo was a little bit of a challenge as my reading materials are in every area my life is. But here are at least most of them.
A slice of my life is much, much richer from these gifts.

A goal I hold for the Month of February is to participate in A Slice of Life similar to how I joined the PF community.

Special thanks to the poets that have been the rock stars of my mailbox. Their names are enmeshed in this post
Linda, I find that our sisterhood bonds has strengthened through our writing group. Since you were not on my list of Postcard Poetry Partners I am going to tweet you my card just because I want you to have it immediately. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI will send you mine too. I have become a more consistent writer and reader because of PF. I so appreciate how you make me think and inspire me to be more creative.
DeleteIt has been a special joy to receive and send the postcards. I love your stars, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI have learned and grown so much in this community of writers. I learn so much from what YOU share. Someday, I'd love to meet and have a writer's retreat of some sort for the PF community.
DeleteVery happy that Jan Godown Annino sat me down and made sure I understood how to connect. She's a rock star to me as well.
My postcards are all in a little pencil bag my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas that says Write On! They bring me Joy! Committing to writing together will makes us stronger and happier.
ReplyDeleteI didn't sign up for the postcard exchange this year, but after seeing all the beautiful cards people have received, I will be sure to sign up next year. Thank you for sharing, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was so fun to get them. I discovered postcards for peace for February so I am doing that. I love our writing community.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me a star. You shine brightly too.
