My Grandmother's heart
So full of life, wisdom, power
Helping her family, community, herself
Live better, push past barriers, honor connections
Encouraging engagement, hope, and fullness
My Grandmother's heart
So full, wise, and powerful
Flows into our present time
To reach and teach me
How to live a meaningful life

I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a two-time Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of four darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 44 years.

Becoming a grandmother was one of life’s most joyful moments. Your poem reflects my feelings of my own grandmother. I hope I can be the same for our grandchildren.
Dear Len, I read the story of Winnie Waugh! Oh my! She deserves her own book! I can see how she inspires you in your life. On my way to France today. See you soon! Eileen
