What a way to start the week! I took an extended weekend, come back this morning (Tuesday) and see an update from you here. It's been a long time...I've missed you!

Since today is the 15th, I surely hope surgery went well and you are released today to begin your healing process. I'll be thinking of you friend! Please, when you are feeling up to it, e-mail me here at WDC. I would love to hear from you!

As always, kudos on the publications! Riley will still be there...just as the rest of us who call you friend. *Hugs*

I was so excited to see news from you pop up in My Favorites this morning. No news is good news, so they say. I'm sorry to learn that your life has taken a very nasty spin with thyroid + other undetermined health problems which are exhausting you and keeping you from doing what you love best. I would be terrified at the prospect of losing my voice and would probably start acupuncture and other medicinal approaches to calm the situation, if calming can be done at this state. Have you tried acupuncture? You maybe should.

It's good news that your writing is recognized. That's so important for all of us.

Try and stay as well as you can. I agree that it is only our outlook that can help us, and the idea of guilt never does anything constructive when it hits our lives.

What a wonderful and accurate (if I may say so) review of your Riley series! Congrats Patricia!!

It is unfortunate, though, that so many supposed "publishers" turn out to be, shall we say, less than honest. As 'green writers’, we search for ways to get our work out there and recognized. We want so much to have our work appreciated and well received. It's shame our hopes and dreams sometimes are obliterated by places such as Mystic Moon Press. I'm very glad to hear that you are continuing forward though! Your writing is wonderful Patricia, and I am still confident that, someday, it will be picked up by a legitimate publisher who will appreciate it and you. Thanks for striving ever onward!!

You are a warrior. You can be brave. One day you will sing again!

and I went through a similiar ordeal with a thyroid tumor...

breathe deeply... try to sing in your heart each day... even if it's a @#% kind of song...

*hug*

You will always sing... inside and through the wonderful way you have with words. You were blessed with two different types of vocal chords, those that vibrate with song and those that grip a pen.

Sing my friend!

Thank you Patricia for sharing this at a moment I was on WDC and could discover its presence in My Favorites column. I had no idea you had been going through THIS kind of health shit. I hope by now you have offered yourself a minimum health insurance package, but know that to do so in the States nowadays is prohibitive for many people.

You can whisper your stories to people, whisper your poetry in the mean time. I'm sure many people will lend an ear and give you the gift of their inner quiet so that you may tell your tales.

This one hasn't ended yet.

Such a G R A N D poem! The long one - the others are good also, but the long one spoke to me and I read it with an Gaelic accent.

Seven kinds of Wonderful!
