ReplyDeleteMuah.
ETA: I almost got a real word in the Word Verification box -- inning! They always tickle me -- the word verification -- it's so spy like.
This is like a great issue of a literary magazine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including me.
So appreciative of all you do here, Glynn ... and to be included is such a privilege.
ReplyDeleteI need like 50 million hours in a day to read all the great stuff out here -- 24 is not nearly enough! Thank you for highlighting my Hard Place post here. You are such an incredibly generous soul!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I just noticed Healing Sky here, too! Seriously? You are too nice.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish it weren't 11 p.m. on a Sunday night so I could read even half of the writing and breath in half of the art you list here.
