Please accept my apologies for this month’s edition being two days late. I have a legitimate reason: I am the only person who does the uploading and editing and I have been seriously ill. In fact, I just uploaded an essay I wrote about being sick...and how much I loathe it. I considered talking about it here but, didn’t think you’d appreciate being subjected to my whining and bad sense of humor...besides, I think there are so many more “newsworthy” items to defuse over... please do not see this as negative, I usually don’t let things of the world infiltrate my space here, but I am a journalist and sometimes, I just need to let ‘er rip (the list below is a parody)!

Update: I forgot to say Happy National Poetry Month. In celebration I uploaded a newer poem to my blog: http://www.attributemagazine.com/index/editorsbrain/?p=217 Enjoy! Now onto the LFE...

Not to sound cliché, but spring has sprung up from the roots and is rearing its head above the sun-kissed soil. Personally, I have been feeling new life emerging from within and have made changes in both my appearance and in my life, to reflect and respect it.

There are seasons of our life that we do not always understand.  These can be times of introspection or times of complete extroversion; each has its own reason for taking hold of our spirits and doing whatever needs to be done, from the inside out or the outside in.

It is our job to just let it be, not question it, not fight it...just embrace whatever the plan may be and relish the outcome.
