Don’t miss “Sisters Singing” anthology of women’s writing

Another first for me this week! My first published book review is available at the Story Circle Network Book Reviews web site.

I love this book. Sisters Singing: Blessings, prayers, art, songs, poetry and sacred stories by women is an awesome collection of spiritual and soulful women’s writing. It’s broken into ?? sections: White Lotus, Ode to the Mother, Song of a Luscious Wench, Everyday Offerings, The Coming of Grace, I am Nothing without My Dead, Songs of My Sisters, In the Oak Grove, In Praise of Water, In the Name of Raven, and Prayers for My World.

Um, can I say that now I totally want to be a Luscious Wench? You don’t want to miss that poem, titled “Song of a Luscious Wench,” on page 65. Some other favorites of mine (dogeared and marked) are: “Circle of Women,” “Avalon Priestess,” “When I am Silent,” “What the Moon Knows,” “Prayer for What Must be Done Next,” and “Prayer of Thanksgiving.” And so many more spoke to me that I can’t excerpt them here. Just take my word for it and buy the book. You won’t regret it!

Zombies ahead!

Austinites were treated to a funny commute the other day:

The Texas Department of Transportation isn’t laughing at the ghoulish warning that appeared Wednesday on an Austin traffic sign.

I love Jesus but I drink a little

This is hysterical and it SO made my Monday. I wish I was 88 so I could get away with being this crotchety and blunt! *wipes tears of laughter*
