Jax is published

Jax found out that his poem, Night, will be published in this year's edition of the Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans. He is so very proud and excited and so am I!

This year his writing teacher encouraged Jax to try poetry as a way to express himself. She thought the concise medium would suit his thoughtful nature and be a great work around for his challenges with motor skills and dyslexia. She mentioned several times this year that she thought highly of Jax's poetry and asked if she could submit it for publication.

Stay tuned- I will reproduce the poem here (with Jax's permission of course) soon.

Gratitude

I keep reminding myself there is so much to be grateful for in this life. Here are three of them.
