Here with you

 Here with you:

For Chloe and Charlotte

Where you are is where I am

No matter what I am here.

Always close behind,

to help along the way.

I promise not to pressure

or clutter you with me.

I am here to give you space

to be the who you want to be.

and love you completly all the way.

What a wonderful morning!

Enjoy your day with beauty and grace.

Much love

the simple joy of a homemade fort

For most of you who know me know that now I am officially a child care provider.

I have 5 kids who join us during the week. I know it sounds crazy but honestly I love it.

Right now the two youngest are napping and I made a fort for the older ones.

It is a large sheet spread across 4 chairs.

Simple.

Easy.

And truly the most spectacular thing in these kids eyes.

I truly do not think I have seen these kids having so much fun!

The simple joys of being a child.

Life brings exciting new adventures every moment.

As a children we naturally seem to be excited about everything.

We notice the simple things that make life great.

Why does that change in adulthood?

Does it have to?

A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.  ~Bill Vaughan

Have a wonderfully fun afternoon!

Much love,

Jessica

I am going to be published!

I won a poetry contest!

I submitted my poem "Intuition a winter morning" to the Poetry Institute of Canada, and I recieved a letter today saying my poem is going to be published in their anthology.

My poem was picked to go ahead to the next level, and will be judged this winter. I have the posibilty of winning $500.

I don't even think that the chance of winning money is the most exciting thing. It is the fact that I will see my poem as a published piece of work.

And here is the soon to be published poem.....

Intuition on a winter morning

Written by: Jessica Kennedy

The cool air fills my lungs

Travelling down to my belly

Deep to my spirit

Deep to my soul

It recharges,

Fills me with fresh clarity

I trust you,

I say

I will listen to you

Believe in you

Love your choice

How can I not?

You know me best

Oh how happy I feel today!

Much Love,

Jessica

Autumn winds

I am ready for fall.

I find that things always seem to go back to 'normal' as soon as September comes around.

Summer is fun and eventful, but fall brings a sense of relaxation and calm.

The cool winds begin to cool down our firey busy lives and we chill out.

Autumn winds, I am ready for you.

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
~John Donne

Much love,

Jessica
