Searching for something else, I came across these words attributed to Mother Theresa:
I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
No coincidences, you know. These were the perfect words to introduce the work of a new friend, Prema, whom I met at the writer's workshop in Portland. Prema's blog River's Grace truly is a love letter to the world, particularly to the world of her young daughter, River.
Prema's work is poetic, inspirational, grace-filled, and wise. Please savor it and enJOY.

Thank you for your words to me today. xoxo

Jeri - just read your story from the workshop and it's incredible! Also read the not-so-positive reaction from your mom. So sorry for the hurt that brought, but like others said, those habits of criticism don't die out easily. Relish the praise of your friends and fellow writers and you sweet old dad!
Thanks for the link! Hope you're feeling better today. Your writing really is wonderful, Jerri.
I started reading Prema's work the next day after your workshop- Thanks for the tip- Her words are a gift to us all. What an inspiration she is!
And by the way Jerri- take a look in the mirror- your wisdom and humor take us places that show us a love filled life. Keep writing my friend, just keep going.
I also used those wiords in a blog once :-)

Mother Teresa's words are very inspiring. Thanks for sharing them with us. I'll visit again.
Jerri.....where are you, Friend?
Hopefully you are just immersed in a wash of wonderful words and swimming in creative juices.
We need to hear from you.....let us know all is well.
