I'm having an inRhymes moment right now! My playlist of favorites on shuffle, my coffee is hot, and the smoke rolls off my lips like a sigh of relief. Gratitude for my life. There is something about the Thanksgiving season that makes me nostalgic. My hair is a mess, and I didn't shower yesterday because I had nowhere to be or go. There is no one around to need me like it used to be. My kids are grown and living life by their own rules. My dog is in Heaven, and I hope he

Since the day I first wished for you, a shadow in my dreams, always there reaching out your hand and pulling my heart strings. I have seen you in the faces of strangers and in pieces of each of lovers that came before.

I didn't always view life as though every moment was an inRhymes . I didn't always have a poem on my heart. Perhaps I sit here today with...

Whew! I have come out on the other side and am still alive to tell the story of how I got here. This wasn't the first time my life turned...
