Dear Friends,

 Thank you for all the times you've read my writing and made kind, insightful or challenging comments. I've learned a lot from you and continue to hold you dear in my heart.

 This week I start a new job as an Asst. GED Teacher for the local community college. I'm excited but it will be challenging as well. As I looked at my schedule and the creative path that is before my eyes, I realize that I need to let OS writing go. That doesn't mean I won't read my favorites but I won't be on Open Salon as much and will rarely be writing here.

Open Salon is a great place for writing and I love the writers here. The thing is I can both write and have my art on a site called Redbubble so if and when I post writing, I will post it there. I'm more of a poet than an essayist or political commentator. It's good to learn this and YOU all have helped me discern what really matters to me.

Peace to you. You are all blessing.
