Status Updates From Words with Wings

“I’ve figured it out: Mom wants me to be less like Dad, more like she.”

“Mom names me for a creature with wings, then wonders what makes my thoughts fly.”

“Some words sit still on the page holding the story steady. Those words never get me into trouble. But other words have wings that wake my daydreams. They fly in, silent as a sunrise, tickle my imagination, and carry my thoughts away. I can’t help but buckle up for the ride!”

“I’m just the Shy Girl Who Lives Inside Her Head. No one even knocks on the door for a visit. They don’t know it’s beautiful in here.”

“Cheri didn’t mind my daydreaming. She was color-blind, but said whenever I described my daydreams, it was like helping her see the rainbow.”
