Caught in a storm
crystallized blue wings
between barren limbs
searching for warmth
“Surrender”
a cold mocking call
small shivers
the bold whisper
“No, I carry life!”
saving beauty’s songs to sing
survive
shaking off icy arrows
cold dance continues
no warm hearth
scorn of winter’s blanket
berries few and withered
prevail I must
til spring
As long as you do your best, that's good enough.

I suspect there are a number of people who feel just this way…especially those on the east coast and midwest.

Someday I hope to see your take the rhythm of your words and arrange them in a novel. Cormac McCarthy would have competition.

Kristen, thank you for your videos. You are an inaosritipn for me to live better, love my kids more, try just a little harder.I followed you last year when you became homeless but I had no idea that you were so you hid it well I had just moved into a town home with room and could have shared what extra I had with you. I see your success by the look on your children when you are with them. They never looked like they were missing anything. Take care and know that people do look up to you.Bill

We have recently flaeln on hard times. My husband served in the Army for over 7 years and was injured in an Oil Refinery in 2009. He has not been cleared by workman’s comp doctors to return to work. His W.C. benefits and state disability benefits have run out and now we are unable to pay rent and are at risk of becoming homeless. We called the 1-800-4AID-Vet number to ask for assistance, and they were quick to respond, but they were also quick to tell my husband that they cannot help unless WE ARE HOMELESS. Can anyone offer me advice as to why even the web page says if you are at risk of becoming homeless, to give the number a call and they will be able to help. I find it rather strange that the VA is lying to Veterans when they say if that are AT RISK of becoming homeless the VA can help. Any advice as to how to break this system, would be great. Thanks in advance!
