Selected Poems

Clover Hill Diaries - Join Me and Be the Change

#Strongwomen. "I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it." Kristin Armstrong

J T Weaver

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose. — Dylan.
