"Origins" Essay

  Last June, a year after the Dobbs decision, Tangled Locks Journal continued to speak out for women's abortion rights. They shared this thoughtful and informative post about the whys and whos of abortion. And they published a series of essays about abortion.  I am pleased to have my essay, " Origins " on that list. (And regretful I didn't post it here sooner.) I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story and my words.  The choice of when and how to have a child is a fundamental right, and I will continue to fight for this truth. Only when women have complete control over our bodies will we truly be free. 

Haiku




Haiku are short poems with the form of

five syllables

seven syllables
five syllables

They must have a connection to a season- including a nature word to further this goal. They must capture one brief moment in time. They must have some surprise or AHA moment.


Technically, combining haiku with a photograph or painting is called haiga, which is generally what I do. I think it's a bit more fun. 


Read mine for a little inspiration:
