Existence

I've made a set of five "If I was" children's books.  The Turtle was the first and purposefully written, as per my 3-year-old little girl. The story originally a text message to her after she begged and pleading for weeks (she asked once) for me to write her a story about turtles. She said I could not have "were" in the title because she knows where the turtle is, as she's pointing to the picture on the page and the name at the top. In the cuteness of it all, I didn't really have the heart to argue..., so it was re-written, lol. Seriously, teach them the correct way that's no doubt, but like she said, "There's nothing wrong with a little pretend." 
 
The film strip covers are a representation of a moment in time. For most of us dealing with troubling situations, our minds tend to sit and replay a single moment. It consumes you until the healing begins. The cover to Simply Poetry is my abstract view of the film skipping on the reel. A tree trunk portraying a strong, sturdy and grounded relationship. In it, I left poems and stories unedited, stress and heartaches can sometimes..., well you know.
