Editor's Thoughts/Our Family--By Karen O'Leary--United States

Dear Whispers’ Family,

Each one of you is a unique part of the puzzle.  Closing our third year in January, I am so grateful for the friendships born from the journey and treasure the talented contributors that share their words for our growing community.  

It such a joy to share in your honors, stories and see your poetry blossom.  Whispers’ words extend beyond borders. Our writing family is making a difference.  Thank you all for your pieces.

Blessings,

Karen O’Leary
Whisper’s Editor

    The image of "mosaic" speaks volumes and is a perfect metaphor for "Whispers", a lifeline of poetry that encircles the world in an embrace of hope and beauty. Beautifully done.
