May I…?
I have a few words left inside of me, if you listen intently you’ll hear them pleading, “Audrey, write us as poetry.”
Forever the shy one with something to say, yet I return no longer hidden. I humbly ask for grace as I allow my soul the opportunity to speak again.
I miss you. I apologize for being away. My life has changed, but I’m still me. Just now gaining strength and peeking through… My poetry will continue.
Love Always,
Audrey Dawn
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
🙂 “Just now gaining strength and peeking through… My poetry will continue.” And just like spring breaking through the cold, harsh winter ~ Audacious makes her way back to our world again, peeking through (great, beautiful photo) and seeing sunshine and happiness ahead (with the rain and sad times occasionally stopping by to put life in perspective). Wish you well 🙂

Good to see you back, and we’re gifted with a lovely picture upon your return. You mention that your life has changed. For the better? Maybe we’ll find out in your future poems. Looking forward to reading those. Shy people like us have substantial things to say. And you have nothing to apologize for taking a break from blogging. Needs come up in our lives away from blogging. And those needs have to be addressed. I was away from WordPress for about six months, and I’m still trying to figure out a pattern of blogging that works for my schedule.

Audrey Dawn, I am so very glad to see you back here. I’ve worried about you for months, wondering if you were injured or worse. So glad to see you back here, to see your beautiful face. We all struggle. The last year has been a nightmare for me and I’ve only just renewed my own blog, so I know how the vagaries of life can take us away from our aspirations. I hope you’re conquering whatever is halting your steps, and I admire your courage to return to us. Thank you for coming back.
Always your friend, always a shoulder. Shari *: )

Shari, I’m so sorry to have worried you. (Please forgive my silence.) Thank you for being such a beautiful soul and supporter of my writing. I’ve missed my life and I’m ready to return. It’s an incredible feeling to know a friend is struggling, please know, I too, am here for you. I cannot live without writing. The problem becomes promoting myself in a light I can be proud of at the end of the day. Everything will come out here, I’m sure, at some point. I love you.
