IMMERSIVE POETRY... Congratulations -- we made it. We are in the last days of 2025... And what a year it's been! Poetry is distilled thought, feelings and emotions. I thought THIS volume of poetry: I'm Afraid To Cry -- best describes how I feel, all I've learned and how I've grown, intermingled with current events. As a servant of the Divine Creator, a mother, a woman, an activist, a Liberal, Progressive, a human being, I am offended by the sheer level of gleeful, despicable, evil taking place now, so openly, insultingly in our faces by this current Republican Administration. This might be ...

Nothing but Divine Love can prepare you for this. Magick is all around you. Are you ready? The battle of good vs. evil is taking place all the time and it's a lot more subtle than what we see in the movies. Don't deny it's happening. Don't tell yourself it's not what you sense, or feel. If you do, you'll miss the adventure of your life. Step up and jump in. Based on real-life events, Love, Crones, Witches, Power and Magick brings you close up to what's really hidden beneath the illusion that we call life... and how to fight the battle when it's your turn.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story foreshadowed my twin flame/soulmate! A year after writing this story, we met in the same setting -- and eerily enough, many elements related to this story were the same as I'd written down. At the time, I was convalescing and wrote this story at Christmas as a "labor of love". Just how much love it turned out to be, I'm finding more and more every day. Enjoy! MY STUD: They hated each other at first sight. But she'd hated her kitchen cupboards for much longer -- and far more. She had relatives coming this Christmas, and she needed those kitchen cupboards re-faced ...

As a precocious, articulate and very literate child, I read the Holy Bible-- King James and International Versions—from top to bottom, back to front, several times. I had decided that I was too imaginative to ever be an atheist. I found verses there that terrified me. I found others that inspired, comforted, perplexed, and others that were grim beyond belief. Because “conventional” explanations were limiting; and in no way spoke to me of a magnificent, beneficent, omniscient God who created the Universe and destiny and time and all live—all Holy and Loving—I was moved to explore ...
