blog posts too
some artists
are from long ago
they created for their time
and ours
Emily Dickinson’s poetry is one example.

10th Anniversary Edition One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
I began this site on March 11, 2017 with the first blessing recorded in a handwritten journal, inspired by One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp (2010, Zondervan). I wrote, “raindrops on branches of the birch tree December 2012.”
Recently I bought the 10th Anniversary Edition of One Thousand Gifts. I wished to read the “Introduction for the 10th anniversary edition the gift of grace upon grace,” written by Ann Voskamp in late October 2020. And I like the ribbon bookmark. The Page for the book at Ann’s site has a picture of the cover and more information.
I will share more in a future post. Writing haiku is often a record of blessings for me.
