The Positives of Negative Emotions

Happy Monday!

This week I was caught up in all the romance of the royal wedding and so I thought about all the negatives that are associated with...wait...you're wondering, what negatives? Ha, just kidding. But all the beauty put me in mind of all the negatives that make our characters and what benefits there are to negative emotions. My latest blog post discusses with examples.

This week brings Red Nose Day on May 24. Go out and buy a red nose, pen, necklace, bracelet (all are only about a $1) and make a contribution to end Childhood Poverty. It's a great cause and you'll make a child smile.
See my pen for the cause and let's connect.

Why We Need Poetry

Hello and happy National Poetry Month!

I've a new blog post up for today on why we all need to read poetry. It's a changed world out there but poetry still has a bad taste for so many folks. I suggest a change by seeing what's new and why it's relevant to read a good verse or two a day. Plus I share some samples.

Also, my #pinyourpen is up on Instagram. Drop by and check out @thepoetphoenix to see what I'm writing with for the week. And see past weeks too. If we aren't connected yet, give a holler and let's start.

Don't forget to say hi along the way.
