This is the White family, (L-R) Brisa, Alise, Hannah, Jesse, Josh, Liberty, Sierra, Joe, Sophia and Jewel. I first met them in 2000 when I was on LOGOS II and came with Bens to Ady Acres. They have been good friends ever since, and Eowyn and Coco love playdates with the Whites. Their home is very fun and relaxed, and reminds me of my own childhood, with my 5 siblings.

Today, we Adys attending Joe's funeral service and interment. Each of Joe's siblings expressed their love and sadness and memories of Joe. I feel so sad for these dear ones, and wanted to honour them, and ask for you to pray for them. My heart feels very raw and exposed, feeling sad for the White children, and remembering Tom, Rachel, Seren, Sam and me at our brother Stephen's funeral.

Siblings are very special, and I am extremely thankful for mine. Love you, Tom, Rachel, Seren, Sam & Stephen!

Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
