if it’s not joyous
add a teaspoon of autumn
laughter shared carefree
if it’s not wondrous
stir in a bit of magic
a grand concoction
if it’s not lustrous
sprinkle with marmalade sun
light shines eternal
if it’s not gracious
blend in kindness and caring
lessons of challenge

A gander at me –
I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years being rewarded both professionally and personally. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams by doing things I enjoy…spending time with family, learning, sharing, traveling, writing poetry and encouraging others to pursue their goals.
