Happy Writing Wednesday, dear readers! Every now and then I get the urge to write a little spot of poetry, because as much as I love fiction and sharing about leaving a legacy that matters, poetry holds a not small bit of my heart.

The 4th of July Isn’t Cancelled: 6 ways to cultivate traditions during a crisis

There are certain things about the way my family has celebrated the 4th over the years that simply speak to my soul.
