Thank you! I had many second thoughts about it... Which is why I ultimately decided to publish it. Her. You understand 😂

Oh, I so relate. But the 40 years of journals! That's another story. Literally.

That's for damn sure. Not sure yet what it is yet though 🤔

Mary, our connection strikes again. :) I opened your email this morning, saw the notebooks, and thought, "Uh oh!" I was in the middle of writing a post about my own notebooks, so I didn't read your post until after I published mine. Lol.

I love Michael's description of your poem so much! Thanks for giving it the attention it deserved. XOXO

I loved this, Mary, especially when I listened to you recite it. Then it really touched me.

Your voice is so expressive, and delivers such emotion and meaning. I could listen to you read Leviticus and not want it to end, almost. LOL Thank you.

Thank you for a HILARIOUS compliment, Ronnie. I didn't see that coming... 🙃

I'd like to provide more voiced content -- you've given me the nudge! Xox

Oh, Mary. What a gem, a shining beauty.

I have piles of journals too - have thought many times of going through them and pulling out the poems! It won't happen and that's okay. But oh that voice, so glad you listened and shared this one. 💖
