Pondering The Poetic Heart
Pondering the Poetic Heart is a place to guide our spirits into place of contemplative rest. As a poet, I long to encourage you to find hope and healing through the process of reflecting on God, love, life, and all things that capture the spirit through the written word.
In the month of November, I will lead us through a time of thanksgiving through my 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems. In December we will ring the bells of Christmas. There will also be other times through the year when we will celebrate love, just for fun poetry, and more. I pray this will be a place of loving contentment for all of us.

Some Day
Some Day ~ 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems Day Twenty ... some day we will understand God's plan, but for now thank Him for seeing us through. This isn't a happy-go-lucky poem by any means.

Building on Thanks-living
Building on Thanks-living ~ 30 Days of Thanksgiving Day Sixteen ... thanks-living is the idea of taking time every day to be thankful and when we are thankful, it sure is hard to complain or to worry. When we live our days in worry and fear, we aren't living a stable life. But when we take time each day to give thanks, we are at peace and find our attitude and our overall day feels stronger.
A Soft Falling Snow
A Soft Falling Snow ~ 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems Day Fifteen ... celebrating the beauty of winter and the memories snow days create for us
