THE ‘V’ IN VIOLIN

My guest today, Nick Sanburg, is a blogger who caught my eye as I was thinking about doing this bully theme. My daughter and I have learned so much from reading all the different stories and perspectives so far this month. Of course, she is too young for some of the posts but they have…

MORE THAN AN IMAGE

Today my guest blogger is one of my “IRL” friends, May Vann. Compassion happens when you get past the stereotyping and the judgments and take the next step in caring about someone. I hope this idea comes across in this post today! When I first met May we were shaking our butts next to each other…

THE FUTURE

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

HASTY WHORE AND CHIGGER

Today I would like to bring attention to one of my most avid and loyal followers.  He has so many interesting opinions about my blog. I will call him Chigger.  I’ve decided to step away from my normal attention seeking ways and invite all my blogger friends to enjoy his commentary scattered throughout my blog. …

FRACTURED IMAGE by Tina Hickman

I know this absolutely gorgeous girl personally.  I must say, before I re-blog her post;  I have never seen Tina as anything but beautiful.  She is more than that, she is classy and real.  I could write so much more about how angry I am at the person who made her question her beauty but…
