Strength through Sharing
Featured Iron Butterfly: Caroline.
“Imagine waking up in the middle of the night at 16 years of age, and feeling like someone just stabbed you near your right hipbone, but there’s no blood. Is this a nightmare? You run to your parents’ room and have them take you to the Emergency Room. Pain, confusion and utter exhaustion are just a few words to describe my current state….”

Treasures and Tidbits - Happy Spring
By Marianna Dydek Waite
4/1/18
Spring begins
Another year as life supposes
Where seeds emerge from depth
and shallow
Breaking open to come alive
The nurtured ones surely crest
the soils embrace
Taking happy breathes as life
renews its pace
For you and for me new
creatures sure as we
Continue to grow with zeal and
speed
Rapid ways of waters flow
With loving messages carried as
we go
Somewhat fast and somewhat
slow
Together reaching deeps to tides
below
Come up, come up, and see
what’s new
This happy Spring with gifts so
true
That we may touch and know
them dear
Taken in by their beauty and
cheer
The ways of life must heal the
old
Transformed by light, there’s
nothing cold
Stand firm reaching beyond
what’s seen
For she and he, no matter what
the outcome be
The lark is sure, the sparrow
swift
Creating families, singing along
the wind
Giving more from heart it seems
Can’t help to open it to sing
The rose, the rose how precious
be
Blooming for butterflies and
bees
Sweet taste of nectar that
renews
Given and nourished by nature’s
lasting truths
Branching of tress’ new
canopies
Fields scattered sunflowers’
radiancies
Scents of calming lavenders
holdings
You see, nothing can stop our
unfolding
Embracing Earth’s kiss, live and
live more each day
Creating the journey, along the
way
Keep the jump in your step,
passion, and peace
Remembering to love your best,
Spring, resembles nothing less!
Let’s celebrate spring with Marianna and Fly Forward Together.
