I've found blogging to be a way to keep writing consistently on various books and zine projects. It's part of my creative expression that helps me understand myself and connect with other people who like what I write. I write nearly every day one one of these blogs or the other; the frequency depends on the subject matter, my schedule, and how I feel. I'd love your comments & participation!

    Women have strengths that amaze men. <br /> <br />They bear hardships and they carry burdens, <br /> <br />But they hold happiness, love and joy. <br /> <br />They smile when they want to scream. <br /> <br />They sing when they want to cry. <br /> <br />They cry when they are happy <br /> <br />And laugh when they are nervous. <br /> <br />They fight for what they believe in. <br /> <br />They stand up to injustice. <br /> <br />They don't take 'no' for an answer <br /> <br />When they believe there is a better solution. <br /> <br />They go without so their family can have. <br /> <br />They go to the doctor with a frightened friend <br /> <br />They love unconditionally. <br /> <br />They cry when their children excel <br /> <br />And cheer when their friends get awards. <br /> <br />They are happy when they hear about <br /> <br />A birth or a wedding. <br /> <br />Their hearts break when a friend dies. <br /> <br />They grieve at the loss of a family member, <br /> <br />Yet they are strong when they <br /> <br />Think there is no strength left. <br /> <br />They know that a hug and a kiss <br /> <br />Can heal a broken heart. <br /> <br />Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. <br /> <br />They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you <br /> <br />To show how much they care about you. <br /> <br />The heart of a woman is what <br /> <br />Makes the world keep turning. <br /> <br />They bring joy, hope and love. <br /> <br />They have compassion and ideas. <br /> <br />They give moral support to their <br /> <br />Family and friends. <br /> <br />Women have vital things to say <br /> <br />And everything to give. <br /> <br />HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, <br /> <br />IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. <br />
