I was one of these women for many years. It was quite a long span for I was Mary's mom, Steve's mom.Julie's mom,Mark's mom and finally Andy's mom and guess what I still am and now I am Natasha's Grammy and loving every minute of it. When I write sometimes I am Maretta and sometimes June but who will remember that?
A really tongue in cheek piece and with much good humor. A pleasure to read.

A serious and beautiful effort to remind everyone on earth how inportant this subject is for our life today and for the life of future gernerations. Lovingly presented and beautifully illustrated to remind us all of al
the beauty around us and how we must work to preeerve it.

A lovely poem about a mother wishing for a longer period of innocence for her growing daughter. Sentimental and if you are a mother ,oh so true.

Review of What I am?  
Review by Maretta
Rated: E | (4.5)
It is great to know you Shatika and it is great to know that you know YOU which is probably one of the most important things we need to know.
I read in your bio that you are in a wheel chair and altho I know at times it may be difficult for you I commend you for living a full life and finding so much good in it. Keep writing.

Review of Unbroken  
Review by Maretta
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
I have read the whole series. Yes, I had to keep reading and again, yes it is well written but I feel something is not right. It's a feeling I get sometimes
when I don't trust my own feelings.

After reading this I get the point that you are writing a novel about a true crime which somehow clarifies things for me.
Of course we are still in the dark and may always be.
This is well written undoubtedly and I'm sure I will be thinking about it for some time to come.

This is a sweet, tender story of two orphans finding solace in through friendship becoming a family.
Quite well written and the characters Sapphire and Jash very believable.

This story has a very interesting premise and I enjoyed it, especially that Aliana was open enough to find some good points about Charles.
I am wondering if you had perhaps thought about the language being rather modern for medieval days. I wonder if they would say Oh yeah and let us go right off the bat. Think about that because I like this story .

This article was very interesting and informative. I am printing it out to give to a friend who is experiencing many problems with her 11 year old son.
Thank you for writing and sharing it. They have been running from Dr. to Dr. and sometimes getting quite different points of view. Perhaps this will give them some perspective.

Review of The Clones  
Review by Maretta
Rated: E | (4.5)
I'm not quite sure who these people are that you are describing but I think I may have an idea. So much of what makes one "in" today is dressing the same, acting the same and WANTING and needing the same things. The individual is almost ostrasized and yet deciding to be individuals is what makes us all special. It has always been that way to some extent in the world of peers, young or old, but today it's almost a disease.
Hopefully at some point people will mature enough and begin to understand !
Please stop by my port.

Review of Joy of the Muse  
Review by Maretta
Rated: E | (4.5)
An author's description of her muse, reminding us all of how we feel the urgent power to let the words flow, how our imagination soars and how there is such joy in the magic of the muse. Lovely thoughts.

Found your blog interesting. I haven't reviewed many as yet and somehow feel as though I am peeking into your personal life, which in a way, is true.
I could tell in the one part when you seemed tired all the time that you were depressed.
Yet it also sounds to me that you have plans for the future and that's what it's all about. My husband used to say about me,"If June has a plan than everything is o.k.
and I do think that is true.
Also in your list of geek requirements, I disagree with you. Sounds more like an interesting, productive human being to me. Keep writing and stop over at my port someday.

Review of Condo-lences:  
Review by Maretta
Rated: E | (5.0)
It is always difficult when our first child leaves the nest and you have written so lovingly of your special relationship. Just know that from now on it is always a definate thing to deal with. I have seen four leave the nest and it doesn't get easier. However, we learn that each coming home is a triumph and each leaving a bit sad. BUT there is almost always next time to look foreward too.

Review of Sacred  
Review by Maretta
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
I am doing the reviewing I try to do everyday and came upon this poem.
I have a faith, a belief , but have often thought along the lovely lines you have written in this poem/story. If only we could all believe that we can have our own beliefs and that others could be led by the same deity, I know as God, but be led in their own way perhaps we could have peace in this world. I know I am not saying this as well as you have written it but it is beautiful and inspires me to have faith in all human beings. Please stop over at my port sometime.

An absolutely beautiful/sad written piece of work about going home again. Lovingly described from the snowball bushes to sitting on the roof at night, to the secret hauntings we must leave to go forward, keeping the good memories and going on with life.

I can only imagine how emotional it was for you to write this poem. The miracle of it is you have written it. Yes, it needs some work.But the power of your words, your feelings, your anger speak to us and the bravery of your mother in having you and your Grandmom being there are saying "He's born" Your alive and kicking and I challenge you to keep writing and someday be everything you want to be. A fine man.
God bless.

Review of MY GRANDCHILDREN  
Review by Maretta
Rated: E | (5.0)
Being a Grammy myself what else can I say than perfect! beautiful! and angelic!Two sweet little boys, the greatest gift we can receive is our grandchildren.
I must say I have a little grand-daughter, Natasha she is nine and last week she told me she is either going to be a writer or a critic.I hope she will be a writer but think critics make more money.
