Thank you, Lynn. 🙂
Viva! I got chills reading your words. Powerful and a wake-up call to us all. I’m glad you joined in. Many hugs, my friend. ❤
Thanks, Colleen. ❤ It was a wakeup call for me too. Tanka is challenging and I want to write more.

Wow! Thanks for the honor, Colleen. I’ve got goosebumps. ❤
