Another round of great reading and viewing on the web. I don’t normally say “this was my favorite thing to read this week” and I won’t start now. But I will say I was moved to tears by Jeanne Damoff’s “In the Presence of Greatness” (link below in Prose).

Good-morning Glynn -- ok -- so is that the view out your window? where's the snow? Where's winter? :)

Before I commented, and thanked you for the mention, I clicked over to read Jeanne's piece, "The Presence of Greatness".

I'm so glad I did.

Thank you -- for the mention and for always championing bloggers from across the realm.

Hugs

I did the same thing -- immediately to that one ---

And thanks for the others as well.

Thanks for posting these links I started following a few from my blog. There's really some great talent out there, I was unaware of. I'm very excited about the writing links. It not only inspired me to write poetry again, but also to remember some of the rules I learned long ago. Oy! Critiques. They are hard sometimes, but no reply is worse.

I'm tickled to be mentioned amongst such swell posts. I shared your flash mob suggestion too. My family is crazy for flash mobs. We should have a blogger flash mob...kidding but not.

Have a terrific weekend sir!

Glynn, you are always a dear and give a generous gift in sharing these good reads. I'm honored each time you include me here. But that intro! This morning I feel like you handed me a delicately scented rose, and I bow my head to breathe the sweetness, grateful for friendship and the tender grace of your tears.

Humbled. Thank you.
Jeanne
