For the New Year: A Collection of Poems and Writings Offered as a Gift From My Heart to Yours

For several years now I have been putting together booklets of poetry and writings which I gift to family and several close friends over the holidays. Each page also includes one of my photographs. For those who may be interested, it comes to me to share this most recent poetry booklet here — beginning with the cover page and then followed with links to each writing in the order shared in the booklets  as a meditation and blessing to all for this New Year and beyond. Blessed be. 💜🙏 Molly


A collection of poems and writings

offered as a gift from my heart to yours.

May you find something here of beauty,

nourishment, heart, and meaning

for the holiday season and in

the coming New Year.


With love & blessings,

Molly
