It's Mother's Day...a day of remembrance, a day of celebration, and a day to make new pledges toward a better tomorrow! Elizabeth

A big congrats, Elizabeth, on your well earned place of second in the 'Family Stories' contest. I hope your $500 brings lots of special treats and pampering. You deserve it.

Best wishes,

Bek :)

I know you are my competition, but you are a wonderful writer. Yes, I gave you a well deserved vote in the current contest. Valerie

This weekend has been full of snow, outdoors...and inside my head. Sometimes things happen that make you wonder on what should be so clear since it's right there in your face; in the words you read regarding certain things...but, denial is always sitting on your shoulder, telling you to ignore the obvious, to see things in a different light. Yet, the struggle to accept is one long truth to be eventually...faced.

Yesterday was a red letter day for me; I began a follow-up story to my latest novel, The Long Night Moon. At some point I may post excerpts for viewing and asking for comments. If any of you who have read examples of my work would like to read these passages, send me a note. Have a grand day, and may your thoughts lend a little sunshine to your soul. Wa do, Elizabeth.

If you mean "When I was young " it was my first readings for and I like the style a lot ELOQUENCE .God bless your mind and tongue.

I have another site with more works listed, please stop by when you have time...visitors are always welcome, no voting, no rating, just engage your mind...Elizabeth. http://www.authorsden.com/elizabethwtowles

I am cradled in this moment, listening to the music in my small cubicle of the computer room. The sounds hold me still, letting the music stroke my thoughts. I look back over the year and all the things sent my way, the grand launching of my book, The Long Night Moon, and sites like this where I've found like-thinking friends. And reading works of talented people, who only want their voices to be heard. Writers unmask their souls in their words, and we, as writers, must keep this in mind, for with every piece of new work, that same vulnerability sits in my mind with the start of each piece...I have a feeling this is a universal condition....

Thanks for accepting my friendship and thanks for the comment it's part of traditional clothes here.Frankly I feel honored because a cultured lady like you accept my friendship.

With all respect
