I wasn't sure if you wanted me to post it or you. Isn't that just so me? This poem was written the day after the Pulse Nightclub shooting. The pain of the mothers waiting to hear if their child made it out safely was so palatable and intense. I could not imagine. My heart, like so many of us, was breaking and the pain was real. These few words gave voice to those emotions. I think of the woman I saw on the news waiting to hear about her beautiful son, she screamed, "I haven't heard, I NEED to hear" - I think of her gut wrenching screams, her unrelenting fear, and how her life was forever changed in those hours of waiting. I wanted to jump through the TV and hold her. I pray she has found comfort and that she has a strong network of people to lean into and on. Thank you for posting Joey and building strong network I am proud to be part of ....love Pam.

Hi Joey I am a little behind but still working on it. I decided to declutter my junk drawer. Obvious before and after. This is a little thing but rest assured like you, I have larger projects but one little thing at a time. It does feel better to have done this much. Thanks for leading the charge!

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever with Barbara Streisand. It was one of the first movies my sister and I saw in the theater. I was an 8 year old quiet, girlie girl in 1970. It was larger than life, the music, the glamour, the love story and the comedy, it just left a mark. Another favorite is Funny Girl for much the same reasons but one of my favorite quotes comes from this one - Fanny Brice: [looking in the mirror] "Hello, gorgeous" but you have to hear it in her Brooklyn accent, it's perfection. I loved all her movies as a little girl and still do to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU9O0cD4OAQ

I am going to try the mug cake tomorrow for sure but tonight it's grilled curry chicken with a fresh salad. Thanks for awesome energetic post!

Trying again. I learned I can overcome my shy nature and be vulnerable. https://youtu.be/BSDuj6MuWag
