My Featured Blogger this week is Ali Grimshaw of Flashlight Batteries. “Writing poetry has given me a way to touch others’ lives,” says Ali, flashlight bearer and writing circle facilitator, “(to) help us see ourselves and each other with the light of love.” And that light shines through everything she writes.

We should be more like Mother Nature and not hurry. We’d be less frazzled-looking like the relaxed petals of the beautiful dogwood flowers in your photograph. After all, not everything is a five-alarm fire. Thanks, Ali! And thanks, Mitch, for featuring her.
