This is how i felt about this weekend.....


because...
-i got to see some fierce! young women writers/poets (love my boys too)take the stage saturday afternoon. one poet, Pravda, went against the grain...and i was so proud...it took a lot of guts. they all make me want to be better writers
-BFran had a MUCH NEEDED poetic house party saturday night...for so many reasons. the people, the words, the love, the laughs, the quiet moments, the love, the poetic-hood, the love, the family, the power, the tears, alllll of it! good food for the soul
-you returned just to experience your first house party, hope you enjoyed it and the shotguns too lol..and thanks for allowing him to return
-some of the fam had a road trip to killeen, not a long trip...but a much needed road trip...it was the fact we did so...next time there will be more. the memories of past and laughters were like WOW! yeah...real nice
-we witness the birth of yet another Tx slam team...and MAN! was it a Fight! There were some great words, and some HUH??? words lol, but each poet brought it indeed. Shake....amazing...he is becoming one of my favorite tx poets!
-i came home to open arms and kisses...what more could one tired mom and woman want...not a damn thing!
