Happy Friday and TTOT day! Yes, I am back again. I posted earler this week, but I took it down for reasons…don’t ask, please. This one sticks! The above photo is not mine but it kinda reflects my current state, a contrast between warm and mellow. And on the way to something taller.
2. I am gradually feeling better. Yesterday was my big test for running errands much of the day and looking at a condo (no, did not buy). I got through it and was ready for bed early. Grateful I got through the day.
3. I got through and maybe still going through TBH this difficult matter with a person who does not see eye to eye…I consider it a gratitude that I am starting this new day with a fresh perspective.
4. Celebration of the book launch for Elizabeth last weekend and looking for to this weekend’s event with Sarfraz.
5. Having time off for healing gave me plenty of time to read and I am always grateful to read.
6. The Sealey Challenge is coming up in August. I have a whole stack of books to read and re-read. I am grateful.
7. Daughter is rocking her cane and has blinged it up on a regular basis.
8. The “Dear Heart” Call for Submissions is picking up speed.
9. I have a special treat lined up for #8.
10. YOU
Years ago, before computers, we wrote letters. My mother’s letters were like little novellas. They sometimes were several pages long. She wrote her family members and friends and they loved to get her “books.” How I wish I had saved my letters from mom. As a witness to her letter writing, I would watch as her pen moved passionately across the pages, sometimes witnessing her eyes well up. Letters were her release. They were her way of expressing herself in ways she could not voice. Sometimes she would write letters to people out of anger and then tear them up. To my knowledge, she never sent one of those angry letters. It could have been politicians, relatives, and those are the ones I knew about. She would express her heart’s desire, open up her soul, and pour out her thoughts.
As a letter writer, I did not have the beautiful penmanship of my mother, but I learned that the pen was my power. I also wrote letters and tore them up. I even wrote one about the need for a doctor in our little town and it was published in the newspaper. I wrote letters to family, friends, old friends found from a long time lost, family who I wanted to see but knew my letters would reach them long before I ever would.
Now, I am a writer and a poet. I write as if my words are letters to the world, at times. Other times, I write to express my desires of the heart. And other times I write to write.
I firmly believe that when we do express our desires within our heart that this has a way of stirring up thoughts and even action plans to make things happen. Sometimes those things that happen are acceptances of things that can’t be changed, but sometimes they are steps to taking up the courage to make something happen in our lives.
What is the desire in your heart? This is my challenge to you. I would like to read about the desires in your heart in the “Dear Heart” anthology of letters, poetry, art, photography, and whatever ways helps you express your passion.
There’s a caveat to this. These are all to be sent to me via good old fashioned snail mail. I will sort through these and select which submissions to publish.
Please drop me an email to prolificpulse@gmail.com for the specific call for submissions.
Garden of Neuro Institute has a Call for Submissions for contributors to The Talk.
Personal Essays and/or Poetry submissions are welcome and encouraged. Check out this video for more information. Or skip on over to the Call for Submissions form which is right HERE
We are beyond excited to announce that Social Justice Inks – Anthology of Poetry is available on Amazon and many other online stores, there is also an ePub available via Lulu. Here are the Links:
On June 20 at 7 p.m. EST there will be a Book Launch to celebrate with the participating poets. We hope you will join us.
This all started from this session:
You see, I was planning to do another anthology for 2022, following the Heart Beats anthology of 2021. It seemed most appropriate to go to these most important topics. And, before we knew it, it became real.
A special shout out to Zaneta Varnado Johns for her dedication as Co-Editor for this anthology. It made a huge difference to have this assistance.
We hope to see you on June 20, the dedicated date to recognize Juneteenth.
It’s National Poetry Month and I have been writing a poem each day. This one, I decided to share.
I was reading this article on NPR It’s about the talk that black mothers have with their sons. It came to me while I was working on an announcement – or a fresh announcement about The Talk – which is the name for the anthology of poetry and essays by mothers of color & possibly fathers, too.
As a white woman, I have had talks with my now adult child, but nothing compared to what people of color have to have, MUST have with their children. None of us wants to have our children’s names or adult children’s names associated with a hashtag. What do you think the chances are for this to happen with a person of color vs a white person?
Even with The Talk, there’s still a chance that something could happen, but we are not, as parents, going to let our children into society without caution. The Talk and many other measures has to happen.
What is the talk as a white parent? What is the talk as a parent of color? Just think about that and let it sit for a few moments.
This picture depicts the happiness I want to see for people of color. And I want to hear about The Talk that is had. It keeps those of us who don’t have this experience, mindful. And it keeps us heart-full. How I wish that in this world, we did not have the adversity, the hatred, the assumptions… And I don’t want to hear about how that’s just the way it is. That is not good enough, nor acceptable to me and I hope it is not acceptable to others, but I know. I don’t have blinders on, but I also don’t have dark skin which causes people to scowl, distrust, look the other way, accuse me, to make my name a hashtag.
Are you a person of color? Would you feel comfortable sharing the talk you have had to have with your children? There’s a Call for Submissions for your story, your essays, your poetry… Would you consider sharing Your Talk with others?
Here is the link if your answer is “yes” or if you want more information:
The Talk Call for Submissions.

In response to the weekly word prompt from Girlie on the Edge’s blog
Where are we now
that it’s 20 years since 9/11
post one of the worst cards
dealt to America
affecting the world
but what happens
happens in our back yard
Nebulous the Night
Hazy in the dampness of the eve
She walks alone amidst the dusky path
Trees offer solace to her soul
Protectors of those who venture into night
An owl swoops to grasp the little paws
Those lost will be found before the frost
…
That’s my six. How about you join us? Just go to this LINK and give it a go.
It’s Friday and school is back in session and it’s TTOT time! What a way to bring in September.
Let’s get started!
She Loves Her Trains
Tracey always loved trains, from the mechanics to the power, she swelled with delight.
Reaching into the toy box for her brother’s train set, when they were out and about, she was excited.
Although she was a girl and girls didn’t play with boy’s toys, Tracey defied this as she played.
In a world where women were to have their certain roles, it did not make sense to Tracey.
Nowadays, Tracey is glad she can openly share her love for train, specifically train sets.
She has never had her own train set, but loves to visit places with trains and loves to ride the train.
…
There you have it! This is my Six Sentece Story told in an acrostic poem. You can do one too. Just go to THIS LINK and join us!
Happy Friday and TTOT time! Let’s get started.

Let’s slice up a bowl of peachy thoughts!
I was so fortunate to interview the wonderful poet and gentleness ambassador Bingz Huang for the podcast. Here is the PODCAST LINK, which is the audio of this video.
I met Bingz via the Garden of Neuro and I read her book.
This book is one to read! It is about nurturing. It is about gentleness. It is about being gentle with yourself.
I am excited that tonight in the Garden of Neuro, Bingz will be presenting a workshop with one of her poems from the book. It is a workshop for women at the Garden of Neuro, a #Save and Brave Space for women.

It’s time for the BIG TEN!! TTOT!
Shifting Sands
dusty breezes pull
my eyes into closed peeking
trying to figure
how to shield and see
when shifting sands
pull me into the sea

In response to the Six Sentence Story Weekly Challenge
Centered
Careful to stay on point, I choose the place to position my focus
Everything around me has faded as I center my thoughts on the focal point
Not to be sidetracked, I fight the urge to look about and mind wander
Telling myself this is for a purpose I try my best to stay on point
Eventually, I loosen up, letting go of intrusive thoughts as I gain clarity
Releasing my anxieties, focusing on the point, breathing naturally, I am centered
Welcome to another great week to be thankful! Let’s get this started!
Happy Friday and TTOT Day! Let’s hop to it!
Things I am thankful for this week:
Charlie bowled us over with his jokes.
Simone bowled so many strikes, she was declared the champion.
I was in the company of both people when Maureen brought a big bowl of popcorn.
We gathered some smaller bowls and helped ourselves to the delicious, buttery treat.
Harold could be spotted a mile away with his bowler hat, toting the sodas.
We all tried on his hat and had a fun, lighthearted time, full of snacks, fun, and togetherness.
There you have it! My Six Sentence Story for this week. Hope it didn’t bowl you over, too much!
Come and check out what others have to say HERE
it’s TTOT time!

Sweet Daddy
Daddy, I miss you and who you were
and how together we’d family surf.
You taught me to love the taste of candy
and to get chocolate stars was dandy.
A quarter at the candy store
would take me hours to spend for sure.
When days were long, and thoughts were few
that bag of candy would get me through.
Ice cream was our best shared treat
and you would buy it for the kids on our street.
They’d gather ‘round for ice cream cones
and with you as their surrogate, they felt at home.
…
There you have it! That is my Six Sentence Story to the prompt word “quarter.”
You can join in at Girlie on the Edge HERE
Happy Friday and TTOT day! Let’ do this!
2. Dancing without judgment
3. Togetherness with family and friends.
4. Humor
5. Music
6. Hope
7. Help.
8. Happiness
9. Acceptance
10. You – What are your thankfuls?
I had the pleasure of interviewing these two lovely women for my podcast and YouTube and, as you can see, above is the YouTube and below is the podcast link.

Anticipation
Dusting, sweeping, window washing—the family readied their home for the presence of grandmother.
Oh, thought Priscilla, it’s going to be fun, I can hardly wait until she gets here. Giggling beside herself,
Priscilla picked out her finest dress and slipped on her sparkly slippers, and she even decorated Fluffy.
“You sure are excited,” Priscilla’s mother exclaimed.
Priscilla gave an impish grin; “I can’t wait to see the presents.”
This was when Priscilla had her first lesson about homonyms.
…..
This is my response to the weekly prompt from Girlie on the Edge.
Perhaps you would like to write something.
Good Morning and happy Friday and happy June!! Let’s get started.
6. It is First Friday and it is usually when the artists and musicians and foodies celebrate in and outdoors in Raleigh and many of the venues for art are free to enjoy. We have gone several times and particularly enjoy the variety of art and seeing artists in their studios. If the weather is decent, you will likely see dancing in the streets by performing groups, perhaps a drum formation and whatever is ever whatever on the agenda.
7. I have been doing some videos with David Martin, Founder and Chief Editor of Fine Lines. These are fun to do and I always learn something new. Summer Camp is coming up, too. Here’s the last video we did about journaling:
8. Summer Camp is coming soon! I hope to see you there.
9. I saved the best for last: Daughter appears to be moving a little bit better. Baby steps, but I think that PT is helping. It’s a slow process, but eventually she will be back to her old, feisty self.
10. YOU! What’s up with your life? I saw some geese and their babies walking alongside the road the other day and they were adorable. How can we not smile at nature’s new offspring! Please do share your thankfuls.
Butterfly Love
Fluttering about fairy gardens,
vivid colors and purposeful lives,
butterflies know their calling.
Eat until they are filled and full,
build a protective crysalis,
until they emerge as butterflies.
An artist and storyteller
by the name of Eric Carle
brought a hungry caterpillar
into the homes of many families.
School teachers brought the story
into classrooms and inspired children.
That’s what happens when a seed is planted
in a book, in art, in voice—
It lasts forever in the artfulness, in the
Imaginations of humankind.
Butterflies live on when the world
keeps feeding them
with fairy gardens, simple garden paths,
massive wildflower fields,
all this by caring for the lands.
Help butterflies live
whatever length of time they can
as they are called to be,
as we are called to support.
Learn more about butterflies from this link to the Smithsonian.
Learn more about Eric Carle from this link to the dedicated website.
This posting is in response to the Sunday Prompt of the Poetry Circle from the Garden of Neuro.
Power
Powerful waves rush to the shore as I
lounge in the chaise with toes in gritty sand.
Sandy shores, crunch under weathered old soles.
Souls lost on the shores across other lands
find their place to reside and live within.
Whether or not the vessels believe this
hearts beat and lives live on because of those
who gave their lives for their own true reasons.
We are powerless to know human minds.
We are powerful to make up our own.
…
There you have it! This is my response to the prompt: POWERFUL for this weeks Six Sentence Story
Would you like to write a story or poem in response to this prompt?
Go to Girlie on the Edge and give it a try.
TGIF and time to reflect on those who aren’t here to say TGIF… As we embark on Memorial Day Weekend it’s time to think about being thankful for those who gave their all. There is always a debate about remembering those who give all now but are living and those who lost their lives because of giving all for their country. I am going to focus on being mindful of this as I do this post, so let’s just see how it goes.
I had the most delightful time interviewing David Martin. And ICYMI there is a Virtual Summer Camp for Creative Writers coming up in June. You might want to check it out. Information on FinesLines.org
Good Morning! Happy TTOT! Let’s hop to it!
2. Tax season is over.
3. Kay Doiron, my cover artist and great niece finished the book cover art for my next personal book of poetry. This was just in time for the upcoming birth of her baby, to be determined by God’s own plan. I am so thankful when Kay does the art work. She always “gets” what I am looking for.
4. We had a nice turnout for the Book Launch party. I did not record it, but we had a great time.
That’s the book:
5. It’s been a different kind of week in that I am doing more art than usual. That is always a positive.
6. Daughter is going to PT and comes home sore, so it must be doing some good.
7. Did you know that when you ask for a blessing, you open a window and it may take a whole door to take in all the goodness. Yeah…I have to remember that. And I am grateful to have to open my door.
8. I had a first meeting with an awesome coach and now I have an idea to develop. It’s like it’s always been there and I have done some things about it, but I am gaining clarity. I started by writing something and submitting it and it was accepted. I have another writing project to work on along the same lines. #7 is the result of seek and you will find.
9. The pool is supposed to open next week and the temps are going up, so maybe, just maybe MarPril is moving on and allowing PrilAyUne to come along.
10. Welcome to the path where you can lead the way. You are never alone when you share with others. What are you thankful for? The kitty wants to know.
Come read other thankfuls and link you own here:
Jamie walked alone
on the Manhattan sidewalk
she made her morning trip
to the subway
last night, under the moon
where shadows allowed
lovers to steal kisses
in the distance
guitar music played
the musician was expecting
a bountiful night
strumming under a dogwood
with “TIPS WELCOME”
written on a slate
what a sweet adventure last night
while working the acrylics
with a palette knife
Jamie noticed him
he watched as she
scraped paint on canvas
his voice, meek as a lamb
he offered to buy her coffee
she told him “no, thank you”
he left on his bicycle
returned with tulips
she shared her spinach, avocado wrap
while observing dancing cardinals
they chuckled, observing a drunken bee
attempt to check the flowers
in the excitement
he asked her for a date

8. Help with pain. The treatments I had over a year ago have passed their limit and I started a new round and I am grateful that the first treatment has provided such relief.
9. Fun! I wrote this story and thought I would share. It’s fun to try a little humor out.

Having a Vision and Seeing Possibilities — Supporting a Creative Life
I recently wrote the above story on Medium. It is a Friend’s Link so no worries about hitting a pay wall.
Goodbye April
goodbye April days
which melt to April nights
when my muse would
tickle my toes
at 4 a.m.
psst, I have a poem
the flood would hit
wake up or not
it was a tidal wave
some days I’d ride
some days I’d sleep
most days my muse
would smile
this last day
she let me sleep
thank you, Chloe
goodbye April days
May comes with
new poems
I am sure

Love Knots
Her matron of honor worked the bride’s hair into love knots, adorned with ribbons of blue.
Her mother gently rubbed knots from her daughter’s hair to allow her nightly brush.
She tied her shoes in double knots so she could run without tripped strings and skinned knees.
She felt knots in her stomach when she experienced her first kiss, from the equally knotted boy.
Clover was joined in love knots, to create a crown for her pretend wedding at aged six.
All decked out for her first infant show, she cooed as her mother adorned her hair with ribbons of blue.
