Dear Whispers’ Friends,
It is such a blessing to work with so many talented writers
that are fostering fellowship. As we
reach out with understanding and kindness, our many voices share one song. That song is about uplifting others, sharing
different ideas, and believing in the whole of our Whispers’ journey.
Many writers in our poetry community are dealing challenges. My writing family is a haven for me. Thank you
for lifting others up with your encouragement and support.

So today, I ask you to pray for all those that hurting in
one way or another. We may not be able
to change the world, but we can help those in our corner of the world—our
family and friends, those we meet in or day to day lives, and those we touch
with our words. It all starts with one
candle. Sharing our light offers others the gift of hope.
Blessings always,
Karen O’Leary
