    Thank you so much for you feedback on my poetry! I really appreciate the praise. It made my day. After reading part of your blog, I pretty much knew I could ask you to read my comments that way and that you really would. :)

    I'm referring to the home link at the bottom of this page. When I click on it, it takes me here:

    That quote about handling words is actually an original. Glad you like it! I had fun coming up with it.

    And thanks for loving my blog. I'm convinced I'll have to keep up with yours too. It'd be impossible for me to stay away! Love your style.

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!
