Thank you to everyone that has been participating in our activities.  We hope you find them engaging and a way to expand your writing

Thoughts from Editor Karen O’Leary to ponder about—The word bank exercise was a staple part of a publication I was a part of for years.  I enjoyed the adventure of melding the words to share a creative poem that had a cohesive message
