And thanks for the kind compliments about my blog. I've tried to make it look playful so I can relax and be silly (which is sometmes hard for me to do).<BR/><BR/>Paisley--It can be difficult to be comfortable in our skin; the sense of content and confidence comes and goes for me. But I find my poems, when I can tap into a sense of positive empowerment, become a self-fulfilling prophecy that keeps me going.<BR/><BR/>Linda--when I was complaining abut them shortly after my first baby, my sister wisely reminded me my stretch marks were badges of courage and sacrifice, and I've been much more appreciative of them since.<BR/><BR/>Meera, Sweettalkingguy--thanks!<BR/><BR/>Deb--no more PUNishment, please (but keep the praise coming...) :)chicklegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000215636803243874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183523477304220340.post-13111986504388892192008-02-19T19:43:00.000-08:002008-02-19T19:43:00.000-08:00There are some terrific lines here to give your en...There are some terrific lines here to give your encompassing poem "legs".
