Some Space to Breathe

Exhale...

Finally some time to breathe - not much though. I'm taking a winter session course (thanks to an amazing teacher of mine) and already have my first assignment, but it's doing what I love, or what I seem to be falling in love with...poetry. It's a magical thing, poetry. I'm only beginning to learn how much. The mystery, the surprise, the turns and titles. There is so much to explore and try.

My last semester is spring 2012. I will be graduating in May (finally!) with my BS in English. I plan on continuing my studies in Creative Writing and although I've had a couple poems of mine published, my real goal is to publish a book of poetry. So, all of you writers out there should send me your words of wisdom and advice!

Now the holidays are here and it's been the perfect time to do some personal reflection. I'm in a good spot right now. Life in Mandermania is good. I feel this amazing energy lately - like I can accomplish anything. If you think it might rub off on you, come see me. I'll give you a squeeze.
