Hello Again! It's been a while, and I'm glad to share a brand new poem with you. There are so many things that bind us together. I have named a few of them in this new offering, "The Thread". Have a look!

Deja Vu or Maybe New ~ "Passing Things" is about moving on with our lives. It's about saying good-bye and starting over. I really love the painting on "Don't Forget" as well as the song. It's about love and longing. There are days when we simply need a friend. I love Catmandrew's watercolors of cats, and I think you'll enjoy this last offering, "On Those Days". Check it out!

Note From Karen ~ Hello again. Some of you have written and were wondering where my newsletter was. Well, I've been taking a bit of a break this summer. I hope you are enjoying your summer as well. Those gorgeous sunsets and trips to the shore are moments we'll remember when winter arrives. How about just loading up family or friends into the car and going for a drive? It won't hurt to stop for an ice cream! ~ I want to offer a warm thanks to all who have taken time to write, sign my guestbook, and post on my message board. You are a real encouragement. Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. Be good to yourself, and don't forget to keep hope alive. Shine on..........Karen

Quotes ~
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop, and everybody goes, 'Awwww' " "Stupidity in a woman is unfeminine" "Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
