Thanks, Carol Henderson for the reminder that the circle exercise came from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron! I’ve changed to post to reflect that reference.

For those of you reading these comments, Carol is an excellent writing teacher. Check our her website at http://www.carolhenderson.com.

Thank you everyone for you kind words. Happy Thanksgiving. I’m sure wherever Mother is, Heaven or the oversoul, my brother is there too, and she’s happy and thankful.

Darnell:
I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s death. She died on my mother’s 89th birthday. Though our parents are old and sick and ever so creaky I imagine it must still be hard when they die. I don’t know about that yet.

Beth and I had a good visit with your mom some years back. She introduced us to all her friends out there in Hillsborough, including a woman who could not stop writing.

I am thinking of you and yours. Take good care.

Oh and that exercise is from Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way.”
Love,

Carol

Darnell,
Speechless, but commenting anyway.

I can’t think of a better way to pay homage to your mother, your muse, your most avid supporter. I am sorry for your lost and know that your writing will be all the more affected.

I pray blessings beyond measure in your life of writing.

With Love,
DiAnne Malone

Dear Darnell,

Wat a beautiful tribute to your mother. Clearly, her life and spirit are carried forward by you, gifts upon gifts.

Here is a Linda Hogan quote, which a friend sent to me after my mother’s passing:

“Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.”

Love,
Laurel

Darnell, Very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful tribute to your mom. Love, support, encouragement, stories. Is there anything better, more generous to give? Now I see where your same generosity comes from.

Love, grace, and peace to your mom, to you.
