Posted on Sun, 15 Sep 2019

How could I have missed this gem, Di? I am now glad that it appeared on the front page and I was able to savour its brilliance. I concur with the fulsome praise that the poem has received and congratulate you on being awarded the double honours...

Hi JoAnne.

Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2019

An assured and polished

An assured and polished rendition of uplifting thoughts, JoAnne. Well deserving of all the accolades.
I liked particularly the conversational tone.
