Past, Present and Future Reside, a poem.
How do you feel when you see things that don’t sit well with you?
Do you go and talk to you friends and say what a shame things are?
When you see or hear about an injustice being done to a fellow human being do you sit and take a moment to think about how that makes you feel? Do you let it stir and simmer? Do you use that passion to move you forward and take action?
Are you aware of yourself and the passion that burns inside you? Do you make a difference in the lives of those around you? Do you give back to community? Do you volunteer? Do you make a difference?
If not…… Continue reading

The long lost art of the Smile.
http://www.mixedplateblog.com/2009/10/smile.html
Have you forgotten how to smile?
Have you forgotten how to be patient and kind? Have you forgotten how to be thoughtful, helpful? When was the last time that you opened a door for someone, went to their aid when they dropped their books? When was the last time that you connected with a stranger through a meaningful exchange? When was the last time you asked after someone’s well being? Weekend? Family? And actually meant it and were eager to hear the answer?
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY NEW WRITINGSOFAMRSMOMMY BLOG!
http://www.lvmakeup.com/2012/05/happy-mothers-day.html
I decided to split my blog and create a mother blog. This new blog will be about my journey as a Mom, wife, homemaker, order taker and over all life as a Mother to 8 children.
I will use this blog as I always have but on the other I will write more about my kids and the joy’s and journey of parenting, home renovating, marriage, recipes etc
I wanted to have a ‘my space’ that is separate from the day to day on goings of Mother hood. Please join me on my journey as it spreads.
So I welcome you to join me at http://writingsofamrsmommy.wordpress.com
It’s up and running now, so go and take a peak.
The first official post will be on Mother’s Day. Isn’t that fitting?
Cheers,
Jennifer

Nonsensical

The poem begins now.
So I call this poem nonsensical. I wanted to challenge myself. I always try to search for and pass on meaning, depth, an underlying message in my poetry and I thought this might be a great exercise to help me write outside of my box. To help me learn to write words that have no correlation, that are nonsensical. But see this is impossible because all things are related and all words are correlated. Whether we have the eyes to see it or the soul to feel it. You can never walk away from it.
While this exercise stretched my word association and the way I think about words I realized that I quite like my box.
So I either failed this exercise miserably or it led me further, deeper in my journey to self-discovery.

A day at the Beach. A ‘Storetry’ Collaboration with my Word Press community. Stuff It Tuesdays with the Mrs. Join in!
Welcome to our first Stuff it Tuesday Collaboration! It was fun to see all of the writing and poems that people came up with and even more fun trying to make it into a fluid ‘storetry’. Quite the challenge. I had all of the entries laid out on my floor last night along with a glass of wine. There are so many talented people in our Word Press community.
I decided to add each persons blog link underneath their entry. This seemed to be the best way to keep track of each entry, so as you read, read past the links and then you can go back and check out people’s blogs when you have finished the ‘storetry’. I want to give a shout out to Valerie. She missed the deadline but also submitted this image so I included. I apologize for having to refuse some submissions. I had to set a time line so that I had time to put this all together. I hope you all understand and that you will contribute to next weeks ‘storetry’ which you will find at the end of this weeks collaboration.
I really hope you enjoy the collaboration.
Alright, enough from me. Happy reading.
A day at the beach with Word Press
ttp://tapestryiii.wordpress.com/
I have so many fond memories of days at the beach, packing up the car and spending days in the sun. I love being surrounded by the sand, water and the warm wind. But let me tell you I have many a story about my times at the beach!
Butterfly Box

The Butterfly Box
There once was a little girl,
With rosy cheeks and hair all a curl.
She loved to dance and she loved to play
In her very own innocent way
Until one day
She didn’t want to dance
And she didn’t want to play
She had all these feelings
that would not go away
Stuff it Tuesday Reminder!
The deadline for the Stuff it Tuesday entries is in 2 hours. Anything received after 4:00pm my time will not be entered to give me time to review and put it all together.
I’m really pleased with the submissions so far, the ‘storetry’ is coming together nicely! Please be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the final result!
Have a beautiful day enjoying the wonderful weather that Mother nature has bestowed upon us.
Happy Monday.
