Wow. Talk about generosity. What amazing people. Thanks for posting, Susan.
Isn’t it nice to know there are people like that in the world?

Thanks for passing this along!!!

Hi Susan!
I’m so glad you’re spreading the word about the summer conference grant! I just wanted to mention, however, that the address for the essays is fairygodsistersINK@yahoo.com. I’d hate for someone’s essay to get lost in yahoo limbo!
Thanks again for passing the information along!

Re: Excellence award
Oh Martha, thank you so much. Your kindness and support mean a lot to me.
Naming and acknowledging is so important, isn’t it?
Cork board?
I found a big cork board (for push pins)in one of my closets and it works great for all the things I want to be able to SEE, like little pictures and poems. I highly recommend it. I like paper and being able to see things in print. I like to write long hand and edit on a printout. Every once in a while I have to have a good clear out and a big bonfire. ~ Melora
Wow. What an affirmation of poetry for everyone. So glad you are there.
