Welcome to My Seriously Joy-filled World of Words! 

In a world that makes no sense to me, making nonsense makes sense.

I'm a writer, reciter, a speaker, a teacher, a sister, a daughter, a mother, a wife. A listener, a seeker , a maker of nonsense, a reader, a leader, a lipslippery fool. A doctor, a walker, a talk-talk-talk- talker, a giggle-glad Oma, an odd sort of soul.

Yearner and learner 
An ever beginner! 
Hope is my teacher 
Life is my school.

THE SANITY PRAYER - a novel idea 

THE SANITY PRAYER
(A kind of poem)

 God Goddess Creator Holy Healing One or
      whoever’s  up  


           there 


      (or not)—
Grant me:
The amnesia I need
To forget the things I can’t control
The energy
To select the things I can
And the brains
To mind my own business.
Amen, Namaste, this morning’s meeting is adjourned.

- from The Sanity Prayer, a work-in-progress where Marla, the protagonist, stoops to her knees, in graceless surrender. By me, Sheree (also a work-in-progress).

Hi Sheree, I love this version of the "Serenity Prayer" which I pray every day! I think I will add this version now too!! God Bless!
