PS I know that it’s been a minute since y’all heard from me.  However, life has tossed me many changes these past two years.  I’m back in my hometown Sweet Chicago.  I may not respond to all your wonderful poetry, however I read it daily.  So many of you are talented as well as inspirational.  

Loss by Death *

We have traveled

this spiral in time

so many times,

it has become

natural to

stand at the edge

without fear.

eyes held closed

with fingers that

are covered with

multi colored

emotions

shared. Yet I

see yours

shining through

the darkness,

sense you there

with me.

February is American Heart Month, a time to focus on heart health, it is the number on killer especially for women. I have posted a link below with information that is useful in regards to woman’s heart health.

Dear Rikki:

Blood didn’t unite us, our friendship, mutual respect and love did. You struggled with mental health. Though you fought your inner demons, yet you showed and offered nothing but kindness to others. Your heart was full of love to give and it was also what took your life. You are missed my soul sister.

A song for you to listen to as always. 🌎☮️💙 Take care.

*Note

This doesn’t speak to all men.      

This speaks to one man and his       followers.  We are so much more than just wives and baby makes.

We have a right to follow our goals and dreams and succeed like any man would. The song I selected is every woman’s anthem, by Helen Redding/I Am Woman. 🌎✌🏻💙 Take care, be safe and vote. Thank you.

PS

here in the states it is election time. All the ugly rhetoric has taken a toll on many of us, we are just exhausted by it. My dread is that VP Harris might not win and our Great American (we don’t need to make it great AGAIN it always was and will be) will be in the hands of a facist.

Always for your listening pleasure.

🌎✌🏻💙 Take care, be safe.
