    Thanks Linda
    I appreciate your thoughtful support.
    I will be editing and finishing the last few chapters of my novel hopefully by year's end.
    Then I will probably remove it from fanstory and add finishing touches and keep as a family resource for the girls to read, if or when they choose.
    Blessings

That is such a cute picture of you as a young girl Shirley. Your beautiful smile shines through your entire being right from the start.

It is painful to see children excluded, not only at school, but also at home. Then there is no refuge, anywhere. This is a terrific nonet filled with emotion and written with great care.

Thank you for sharing. :)

    Thank you Gloria,
    As I walk a path of release some physical issues are arising too.
    I have held so much hidden so deeply for so long that as I let it go more issues arise
    and sometimes as physical illnesses to be managed or resolved.
    I have found writing very therapeutic yet struggle daily with auto immune disorders, stress and fatigue.
    I'm experiencing a healing crisis at present so I've had to slow down considerably.
    Thank you for your compassionate review.
    Blessings

This is a very well written poem that speaks loud and clear of the feelings you had due to the abuse. I read that to my husband and asked him who it sounded like He said me. I was abused as a child by my father. I am so sorry you had to go through that. Not a fun thing at all! love, Teri

A very well-written heartfelt sad Nonet. We can all relate to the cruelty of children that don't think they hurt another when they don't allow you into their games of play, only when they are grown up they realized the injustice they have done.

It is horrible to be left out or on the other side of things to by the center of attention because you are being picked on. Either way is bad. The artwork shows a way she can hide her sadness in reading.

Keep writing and have a good weekend.
