I'm honored to be hosting Poetry Friday today.  What better weekend for poetry than the weekend of love?  If you love poetry, you'll want to come back throughout the day to see new updates.  If you're joining today with a poem or other poetry treasures, leave your link in the comments.  Across the day I will move them up into this post.  Parnote via Wikimedia Commons Candy Hearts Does anyone eat candy hearts? Or are they just small confectionery candies for conversation? Cool dude, charm me. Let's do lunch in style. Chill out, Sugar Pie. XOXO, BFF. How many characters are necessary to know the heart?

It's Poetry Friday!!!  I'm honored to be hosting today's link up of beautiful words.  If you're joining us, please leave your link in the comments.  I will be back later in the day to move links up into this post.  In the meantime, be sure to visit the comments to find links to more poetry finds.   A Gentle Hello Out of nowhere you appear.

It's a combination of reflection, serendipity, and decision-making that guides me to the word I will use.  Past Words Step (2024) Shine  (2023) Ripple  (2022) Choose JOY  (2021)  Simplify  (2020) Center  (2019) Reach  (2018) STRETCH  (2017) Be Mindful  (2016) Be Brave  (2015 --- and my personal favorite) Discover  (2014) Thank  (2012) This year was no different. Early in the month, I began to collect words that showed up in my life. In the beginning, the list grew, and then it narrowed. As the end of 2024 neared, I found myself settling in on the word CURIOSITY. The upcoming year appeared sure to be filled with things beyond my control, so it seemed a stance of curiosity might be the best way forward. It was full of possibility and, as a questioner by nat...
