In honor of World Poetry Day, I’m sharing some of my favorite poems. Beginning with a Renga poem that Team TLC wrote together in September 2015. We wrote the poem in TLC order.
Renga is a genre of Japanese collaborative poetry. Poets work in pairs or small groups, taking turns composing alternating three-line and two-line stanzas. To create a renga, one poet writes the first stanza, which is three lines long. [ 501 more words ]

Breakfast …. I like a little bit of waffle with my fruit!
So incredibly satisfying! Gluten free waffle loaded with banana and blueberries. Topped with generous amount of local honey and sprinkled with cinnamon and chopped Mississippi pecans. Divine yumminess. xoxo

Team TLC movie night: Lillian’s choice – “Finding Dory” – We put this on hold through the library in December. There were about 90 holds ahead of us. HA!
Lillian says, “Good, awesome, 100% recommended, favorite part was the end and the “keep on swimming” scene and the truck scene, like the outtakes and bloopers at the end, inspirational, emotional, and fantastic!”
I say, “Great and fun feel good movie. What mirrored for me is that lessons taught to us as children are there in our subconscious, even if we don’t remember where that lesson/story/belief came from. Whether it’s good or bad, it sinks in …. Love that Lillian finally got to watch this!”
Thomas says, “It was really good, yet not as good as people were saying. Much better effects than many movies.”

Thomas and I went on a great afternoon walk and found a cool surprise message! Thank you to who ever created this great surprise! We left it for another lucky person to find.
Then we hit pinecones into the water. He asked if we could go for a walk and hit pinecones on our date this Saturday. I would love nothing more Thomas!!
Saint Patrick
Wonderful story detailing how Saint Patrick followed what was in his heart. He stayed true to this even though it took him away from his family and he dearly missed them.

Field trip turned into Thomas and Camilla March 2017 Date Day.
First stop was for Thomas to say goodbye to Meg and Buttercup before they leave for their next adventure. Thank you Barbara Richmond Chastain for having us over for one last rendezvous.
It was sooo good seeing you Fran Melino!! Thanks for the hugs! And, wonderful seeing you too Melinda Bourke Blackwell!!! Can’t wait to visit your property! Thanks for your hugs too! Part 1
Second stop: Little Washoe Lake –
We stayed for nearly an hour as Thomas foraged for large sticks and limbs to launch. Yes. You can get in the water Thomas. Pants and all. Have FUN!
Finding a piece of lime green beach glass in the sand is just like finding a four leaf clover, isn’t it?
Last stop: Vegan root beer float with coconut bliss ice cream. Thanks Great Full Gardens South Meadows Reno for such yummy love filled treats.

It’s been an intense five weeks. Five weeks of swimming into the depths of my own darkness and shadows. What a wild and crazy ride. The curtain has lifted and the stage is set for the shift ….
From our walk this afternoon. I am so grateful for these two kids who have held space for me. And for always being incredibly patient with my picture taking.
Beautiful sun …. double sun
Reflection
Playing with the moon and tree branches
Throwing mud rucks into the puddle
Shadow fun
This was so good and yummy for all three of us. To be asked, “Can we stay out longer?” ….. sweet music to the soul.
