For thirty one days
we have shared our slices
of success, of loss
of sacrifices.
We read and respond
to the words of peers;
shared a laugh
and shed some tears.
The month is done
but words not yet,
stay close to those
you can’t forget.
I am so grateful for the connections I have made with other slicers this month. I have followed several on their blogs and Twitter, and hope that one day we may meet in person. From past years I was blessed to meet Fran, Aileen, Kathleen, Michelle, Leigh Anne, Stacey, and so many others that I’ve been lucky enough ‘tweet up’ with.
Follow other slicers. Keep those connections. Keep living the writerly life of a slicer.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my posts and connected with me during this month. Thank you to everyone who inspired me with their writing.
I am thankful for and humbled by this community.

I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon this month. I am absolutely following you and others, looking forward to Tuesdays and wondering if we might meet up in the real world some day. Thank you!
Thanks for the month of poetry Paula.
We are an amazing community, aren’t we? Already added your blog to my WordPress feed, looking forward to future posts! But first, we celebrate this accomplishment–whoohoo!
Yes indeed. We need to celebrate! Here’s to you and all of my fellow slicers!
Thank you for all your posts! Your posts helped me to do reflecting that I may have not otherwise done! Thank you for the poetry this month!
