If your party is pure happy
And your Mama’s talents
Flow,
There is nothing like a minion
To give your day a mighty
Go.

She’s turning ten TODAY!
No more single digits. A two-number age from now till the foreseeable horizon of life.
She’s excited.
She is giddy.
She is a tad hesitant about transferring into a group that possibly puts her in the same category with ‘old people’ like her Momma and Papa, or me, or even — gasp — her Nana, whom she loves but is oh-boy-so-very-old …
She is turning ten TODAY.
A birthday like none prior. No turning back now that she takes the one-way step into two-digit life.
She’s shiny-eyed.
Happy with a chance of maybe.
Her mother is a little teary. “She’s growing up. I’m glad and I am sad …”
She’s turning ten TODAY.
A cake with two handfuls of candles. A dinner of her choice. A celebration. A row of little gifts. Perhaps one for every year.
She’s pleased.
She’s shy.
She is a little frightened.
“What if I don’t like being older?”
I smile at her sweet honesty.
Her mother sighs. “… Welcome to the club.”
“Brilliant, enchanting story telling!”
“Thrilling!”
“Marvelously written, fascinating book.”
“A great read”
“… a gem of a read. You won’t want to put it down …”
“Outstanding first novel”
“A sublime read!”
“Outlawed Hope is a wonderful, well written, heartful read for our times …”
“A winner”
“A captivating and addicting page turner …”
“… The book is an emotional roller coaster, intellectually challenging, and teeming with insightful dialogue and introspection.”
A place to improve my writing skills, and that's all.
