Rebecca Budd is the most encouraging, enthusiastic and inspirational blogger I have the great privilege of knowing. She has several blogs, some of which you already follow, so I advocate for all of them! Rebecca is the busy bee of our blogging community, bringing sweetness, kindness, and compassion wherever she alights, not to mention her manifold artistic talents.
I am once again honored to have Lady Budd read one of my poems. Please visit…

THE WOUND THAT HEALS 
I agree, Mary Jo — Rebecca is amazing! A kind, brilliant, incredibly hard-working person. I wrote this under her post reciting your terrific poem (my comment might still be “awaiting moderation”):
“Rebecca, I don’t know how you find time for all you do! Blog posts, videos, podcasts, etc. This post is a striking combination of Mary Jo’s evocative poem, your wonderful recitation of it, and peaceful waterfowl cameos. 🙂 “
