    Michelle,
    Have a wonderful time with your family. How nice to be all together! I'm on spring break this week and my mom is really trying to get me to drive down. I'm debating. It's such a long drive by myself (11 hours), but I would get to see my daughter too which is definitely a bonus. I have so much to do here, but your poem makes me think I should get in the car.

    Thoughtful structure for your poem. The phrases grouped together to create lines of similar ideas is interesting to me.

    Have fun!
    Cathy

      You can never get back family time, Cathy. I say hop in the car with a couple audio books and you'll be good to go! All that other "stuff," can wait.

      Thanks for noticing the format - nothing special, I just wanted it to "look" different than a poem going down.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
