Just got a look at the cover of this beautiful anthology, in which two of my poems are going to be included. I can't wait to read all the beautiful work inside! It hits the shelves, or the internet (?) in January!

Happy "National I Love to Write Day!"
Here's a poem from my book with Finishing Line Press. Author Kristin Hannah inspired it. She loved it when I shared a single line with her before I pieced together the poem. 🙂

Most of my life, I have not been a fan of the color orange, but as the years go by, it's growing on me. Blue has been the attention getter of my eyes...and today I read this. :)
“There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”
