My daughter brings home piles of paper every day, and I discovered this in the middle of it:   And on the back was this: (In case you need help deciphering a 5-year-old’s artwork, that’s a picture of her turning on the light.) Finding this…

Love & Blessings for Mother Earth

April 16, 2018 By Leslie Ralph Leave a Comment

Earth Day is almost here! I’ve waited a lifetime to write this post. (Let me explain…) Since I was a little girl, I wanted to help people and the planet. I studied the birds in the backyard, I had heart-to-hearts with the cats, and I dreamed of writing books that inspired change. Today, I’m the…

The Way Back Home (A Poem for Liberation)  

March 20, 2018 By Leslie Ralph Leave a Comment

There was a time I used to think the key to liberation lay outside of me, in someone else’s hands waiting to be pleased. Then one day, I looked inside, and saw a familiar light that greeted me as if no time had passed in the ages since we’d met. And I remembered then what…
