Getting Stronger in the New Year (New News, New Poem, New Video)

So the new year has put January to rest, however, rest is not something I'm accustomed to.  In light of that, I've been quite busy.  For starters, I've finished my second manuscript and it will be published by Esquire Publications, here's a link!  And if you haven't seen the cover, here you go.

So as I am very proud of this work, I am not done.  I'm working on an additional spoken word project, and writing almost daily.

In honor of all these inspirational juices that are flowing, I'm keeping with the trend of doing exclusive video-poems and only posting them right here.  Nope, you won't catch it on my facebook or anywhere else...you gotta come to Doodle With My Poodle!!

I hope you all enjoyed the first video poem I posted for the new year, and I hope you enjoy this one as well.  It's been a labor of love which involved me getting back to my piano/keyboard roots, which sprouted this poem.

My apologies for not having the lyrics here, but honestly, I was really feeling the music more than I was the poem.
--I am an amateur musician you know....

So I hope you're able to get a good feel for this, as I really was in a spot to do not only the music, but the poem, and the video as well.  I hope you read this, watch the video, listen to the song, and leave me a comment.  I'm curious to know how it hits you---if it does at all.

I think I'll leave it at this, so you all can check out the video.  Giving Thanks for all the support you've been honoring me with!
