Thank you Jennifer. Creating multi-media illustrations to complement the poems makes this one feel special in a new way. 💜

I dropped a copy in my Amazon cart, Gail! I know I've been out of the loop, but I've been awaiting this moment. Huge congrats again, author!

There hasn't been much of a loop lately. 🤭

All is quiet on the (mid)Western front.

Thank you for all of your camaraderie along the way from Medium to here!

Got my copy! Love it!

I had originally thought this might be fun for our 9yo grandniece, but you have adult concepts in simple words, Gail. More than once I finished a piece, said What?, looked at the illustration again, read the piece again, and went AH! A 9yo will not do that. (OK, *this* 9yo won't, much to her great-aunt's frustration. 🙄)

Might have an adult in mind, though... 😊

Thank you Jack!

I'm not sure who the audience for this book is... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Somebody with the tenacity to do as you describe -- read, look, and read again?

I hope the poem's titles offer clues, too.

Who sang the song "I gotta be me"? (Tony Bennett, Sammie Davis Jr., and likely others!) I'm going to add it to my playlist. 😉

Thank you for everything you do to support and encourage my effort!
