Pardon the !! I just read this one !! repeat of 9 days ago words, but I sooooo love this story and I’m hoping you will too.
Enjoy.

Self-publish !! they’d exclaim.
DIY !! they would nudge.
INDIE !! they’d insist
with a yeahyeahyeah, maybemaybemaybe, we’llseewe’llseewe’llsee, forever response, from turtle-paced me. Until one s l o w and steady day …
came along with
soon after. And even though life’s roller coaster tried, every once in a while, to bump me off this quest

YaY for our BIG BALD BEAUTIFUL tree.
But most of all, YaY for DIFFERENT.
