I am coming off of a 15 year dry spell. I feel like I have once again found my voice. A bit about me: I had a brain tumor (in my hypothalamus/ rt.Thalamus) at 3yrs old, the size of a golf ball and growing. It was incurable, inoperable. I was given 6 weeks to live. Yet God had other plans. I'm now 40. And my case is considered a "medical miracle". I relearned to walk, to talk, everything was relearned. My slight left sided limp and dis-coordinated left side, is my daily reminder... God's plans are bigger than my own. One of the lasting effects, was said to render me in able to have children... Again, God had other plans, I gave birth to 9 (7 girls and 2 boys)! I see life as a miracle. A privilege. A bonus, each year I am here! Most of my poetry is with those I wrote it for... in my early years I never considered keeping copies. A very few are etched to memory. Those are here. My newest writing thus far is here too. My style usually is positive and hopeful, but recently a dear friend (and many family members) are dying (end stages) from various cancers. Still I trust God and His will...whatever that may be. I appreciate all feedback on my poetry. I welcome ideas, if you see something amiss, or that doesn't quite translate, do not hesitate to bring it to my attention. Thank you for welcoming me into this beautiful forum. Blessings, Danielle Fenske
