First place winner in online blog contest. HOPE was the topic.
Sowing Kindness
Inspiration grows
cultivating planted seeds
beneath rocky earth
The photo really touches my heart. It looks like a combination of both of my book covers…which remind me of my parents. I miss and love them dearly. Please think about kindness. And how can you plant a seed of hope today?
Author of Eulogies Unspoken: Stories of Worth, Caring for Dad: With Love and Tomatoes, and the YA novel Love at the Center of Grief, which won an IPPY award! Most recently, I wrote the sequel, Beyond the Center of Grief. It is my mission to continue my Summerfort Grief Series for teens. The deaths of my parents inspired me to write. It's my goal to share my grief journey through stories and poems. I write from the heart with the hope to help others heal. I volunteer as a group facilitator at the Lost and Found Grief Center in Missouri. And for twenty-five years I was an at-risk teacher for grades 9-12.
