I am a BREAD MAKER. When I work with dough, I can slough off and sometimes even ERASE the negative self-talk that can run on a loop in my head. Or, rejuvenate my fatigue. Or, otherwise lift my spirits. You would think that my baking is a way to be kind and generous to others or to fill a need in our house. In truth, it is a way to REACH my own HEART and heal.

Lena’s favorite SPORT?
She was a world class FLIRT.
I’d given her the gold,
ring around her finger
No threat when I watched
her practice her skills
with perfect form and pace
I never AVERT my eyes
as she makes the final play
scoring points with ease
all in fun, no HEART breaks
With the elan of the most elite
she makes us all feel worthy to play
while knowing she’s in a league of her own
