The Operation

She found the most plump, well-rounded, orangest subject

As she studied the lines between the prominent ridges

She looked for just the right place to make an incision

Careful not to lose focus and distort her vision for perfection

She drew perfect marks for the removal of the cap

As the pumpkin sat still on the firmest of structure

It’s TTOT time and although I am two days late and missed last week, I am back today, so let’s hop to it.

  1. Free photos to share. I love the one above. Doesn’t it look like donuts? Now, I bet you want some donuts!
  2. Tax season part two has today and tomorrow and then it is over with for a little while. Well…
  3. My new office space. I rearranged my whole living room so that my office space is now separated from living space. It has helped me feel better and I am closer to the window, so I can watch the birds and enjoy the trees. This may help me with screen health as it diverts my eyes whenever a bird comes to visit.
  4. A community that comes together. I am sure you have heard about the shootings in Raleigh, such a horrible tragedy. People who care swoooped in and started doing such heartfelt things for the community affected.
  5. The handshake. It still exists and may be coming back since the pandemic has somewhat been lifted.
  6. Along with handshakes are hugs. I am not a huge hugger, but I won’t turn one down.
  7. The hard copy proof of Caring for Souls should be here soon. It is supposed to ship on Monday.
  8. Daughter was able to go on a road trip with her friend and enjoy the hot air balloon festival in Statesville. She chose not to go up in a balloon, but her friend went up.
  9. As I look out the window, I see the most beautful red leaves among the green. I love it!
  10. YOU

Call for Artists

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

We are so excited as the next volume of A Safe and Brave Space is coming out by year’s end. In fact, poetry and art submissions are still open until September 30.

Here is some newer news! We have decided to open up a cover art contest. The main focus is that the art reflects the theme of A Safe and Brave Space. This is a book by women and we want to celebrate another year of poetry and art! And, of course, being in a safe and brave space to discuss matters of this world.

Are you an artist? Would you like to submit for this contest? There will be a $25 prize awarded to the winner.

After we have confirmed the winning art, we will be opening up another contest for the book cover design, so stay tuned. It is coming soon!
