I think we're lucky, a children's book review!

Hello! I am going to tell you today about a wonderful children's book I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing. It is titled But Aren't I Lucky That ... written by Deanna  Beech. This book does an incredible job  of engaging children and getting very important life messages across. From doing good to acceptance and gratitude, this book encompasses many vital aspects of social and emotional development. Plus, it is just fun to read! I enjoyed this book very much. I can see so much value in reading and discussing the messages within this book with your child. I love the value, the mindset it teaches, the heart behind the words. I am glad beyond measure that there are books like this out there, that the author penned such a lovely book. We need more books like this! Check out her book, you will be glad you did.

Hello, and welcome. This is a poetry post! I have been  churning words around in my mind. Here goes!

Thanks for reading my poetic musings! Much love and happy reading! Kimberly

I have a full-length book of poetry completed and have been submitting that to places taking full-length poetry books. Yes! So exciting. For Valentine's Day I revamped by short story; Love Notes, 30 Things About You That Make Me Smile. I wrote it last year but changed it some, putting it back on Amazon. I love the new cover! Here is the scenario: A young wife has no gift for her husband for Valentine's Day and opts to creatively spend thirty days showing her husband in small, meaningful ways how much she loves him. This is a clean, short read, now for 99 cents. I know it is past Valentine's Day, but l

Hello!  Today I am posting some poetry. I hope you enjoy! I wrote these in the midst of compiling poems for a book and also working on an e-book of inspirational sayings for women with Turner Syndrome, which I have. I don't want to go into that here, just as a backdrop. Anyway, I have been enjoying writing poetry again. It adds something to my life that is hard to describe. What adds that special something to your life that is hard to define, very much a part of who you are or how you see yourself? Share if you would like to! Okay, now time for the star of the show....
