“We all have an inner voice, our personal whisper from the universe. All we have to do is listen -- feel and sense it with an open heart. Sometimes it whispers of intuition or precognition. Other times, it whispers an awareness, a remembrance from another plane. Dare to listen. Dare to hear with your heart.”
CJ Heck, Bits and Pieces: Short Stories from a Writer's Soul

“We are all products of our environment; every person we meet, every new experience or adventure, every book we read, touches and changes us, making us the unique being we are.”
C.J. Heck

Russell CJ,

I just never know where you are going to turn up. As always it's a bigger, better place. I don't think much about you any more. I've got it down to once a day. LOL. Hope you are doing well, as you much deserve.

Lots of Love
SPM

C.J. Heck Hi Roxanna,
I know what you mean (grinning) ... most kids love the "barking" type of spiders!

I'm glad we're friends.
CJ


Roxanna Rose Hi C.J.

Thank you for the friend invite. I look forward to following your work. "Barking Spiders" sound like a book my nephews would love. I think they aspire to be "barking spider" ranchers. :-D
