So, last December my younger brother passed away leaving behind his aging dog Ginger. My other younger brother adopted her and tells me stories about her stubborn antics. When this hybrid piece came into our pocket, I felt compelled to make sure we published it!! Love it so very much!!

Fix for Losing a Mother
Swing in a backyard hammock.
Let sparrows question your motives.
Rock away the ache. A gentle sway,
cradling grief in your mother’s arms.
The body remembers, if you cannot.

@suzibanksbaum.bsky.social Thank you for sending your art!!
Made my return home that much more thrilling!
(I'd been keeping my fingers crossed hoping one day during the #100dayproject I'd open my mailbox to something this lovely!!) Art will keep us sane.

#3 A few months back, we featured artist and writer @debsalebutler.bsky.social and her etch-a-sketch creations. And just for fun, Joan Slatoff created her own sketch and sent it to me. We were both delighted to use that sketch for her story, Cupcakes.

#2 When I asked @kathrynsilverhajo.bsky.social if she kept photographs of Kimo from her son’s childhood, she surprised me with the news that Kimo still lived! The panda photo we used was taken by her son who has passed along his cherished Kimo to his son!
