Dear Friends,
I am overwhelmed by the support and encouragement of each
and every one of you. We have stretched
across borders with contributors from Albania, Australia, Botswana, Brazil,
Canada, Canary Islands, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ghana, India,
Ireland, Israel, Malawi, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan,
Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, South
Africa, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, U.A.E., United Kingdom, United
States, Wales and Zimbabwe. Our reader
base reaches other countries, too.
Some of you have been on this journey since the beginning,
others have joined us for moments, and some are content to read the work of so
many talented artists. All of you matter and are a part of our community. CONGRATULATIONS CONTRIBUTORS! This milestone honor is yours.
I will be publishing thoughts from contributors some time in
June. I will leave The Ongoing Thread
open until May 5 so you still have the opportunity to share your thoughts for
the article I am planning.
Writers
leaves on branches…
hope for the world
Your leaves are spreading in poetry and in encouraging
comments to others. May our Whispers’ community extend our branches to reach out to many more in the months ahead.
Thank you all so much!
Blessings,
Karen
