Poem: Chrysalis
We are always growing and changing through our lives and even in death. Sometimes this change can be excruciatingly painful and we want to resist it, hide behind what we know rather then risk the unknown. However, the change is needed for true growth to occur. This is a beautiful poem that I wrote down in my journal to remind me and guide me through an extremely challenging time of change in my life. I know I will keep these words with me throughout this lifetime. Thank you Glenda for this beautiful poem.

"Open Doors"
This story moved me with the expression of overwhelming vulnerability and fear. I could feel the feelings of having been hurt deeply and knowing that one can be hurt again but risking that hurt when one feels safe and loved. The ecstacy that the characters find in each other and through their connection to each other is a wonderful reminder of what the sweet and glorious rewards of risking hurt again can bring for those that are willing to show their vulnerability and risk it anyways.

This is an important message to hear again and again.

Poetry: Awakening
I love Glenda's work. Her poem, "Awakening," has really spoken to me in these cold winter months! I feel as though I am really experiencing the beach, the sand beneath my feet, the sun glistening off of the sea; like I can feel the warmth of the sun even though it is freezing where I live right now. Glenda's poetic voice sets up the whole scene in my mind's eye. Her writing is a place to escape to, and the insight and confidence behind it helps me to feel that same confidence. Thank you, Glenda! I am eager to read more!

Well, Els, Glenda Poulter's short story, "Thanksgiving" certainly would be an all time favorite! (Sorry forgot to use my trademark blue.

Oh my goodness - i've just read, for the first time, Glenda's 'Thanksgiving' story - gotta rush off right now and have a date with the 'Magic Wand' - don't know when i'll be back..........only thing missing will be a gorgeous playmate - anyone free to join me?
Lou Lou (Australia) - adrenaline rushing in anticipation

Oh, Lou, Lou, you made me laugh! Hope the Magic Wand helped reduce the heat a bit! Yeah, it kind of got to me, too, when I read it! She certainly has a heightened sense of putting her words together to form graphic pictures, doesn't she? Anyway, glad that you enjoyed it and sorry I couldn't join you!
Hugs,
Sue (West Coast)

OMG - I did too. Ok, good job, Glenda. I'm soaked. Phew. That story alone would be enough to get me going. Thanks!

If you don't have a Magic Wand, would you like an icy shower. Although I'm not certain even that would help!!!!!
You have me laughing, too! I hope that Glenda reads your post!
Hugs!

els, I thought you might enjoy Glenda's story--when I first read it, I posted a comment for her on her site. All I could think to say was "OH MY GOD!" I've reread it many times since then!
