There’s a lot of stress going around. I hear it, I feel it, I experience it.

Whether on the large scale (geopolitical tensions, human struggles), or in the personal sense (health issues, personal challenges), there is cause for stress.

And so, aside from praying, I’m deliberately choosing to lift my spirit whenever possible.

Now, thankfully, that the nice weather is here, I’m taking more walks. I’m also back in the garden (an entire day of mulching!), which I love.

And I find myself turning off the news more often. This is just part of my personal self-help list.

With that said, today is the release date for Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing, in which I contributed two stories. The timing of this book, in my opinion, could not be better.

Anyway…if you’re looking for a healthy escape or just need a laugh, here’s the link to the book.

Wishing you all peace and positivity, Mary đź’š

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of poetry and music –and the CD release for Music of the Forest — hosted by The Walt Whitman Birthplace Association! 

Kudos and a depth of gratitude in particular to WWBA’s host Caitlyn Shea, poet/author, Linda Trott Dickman, singer/songwriter Paul Ammendola of Red Words, and guitarist/husband Mark Phillips for enhancing the event with their gift of words, voice, and music.

Most of the poems on the video are from my new spoken-word CD, Music of the Forest. 

For those who were unable to attend, here is a video of the event:

 

Stay safe,

stay strong,

and be encouraged,

Mary
