Indiana Voice Journal : May 2017, Issue # 34

"On The Edge" Painting by Artist Carlos Franco-Ruiz

Welcome to the 34th issue of Indiana Voice Journal.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful people raising, nurturing, and caring for our children. You are a blessing! This issue reminds me of a spring flower garden. It shimmers, shakes, shines, and is absolutely blooming with poetic beauties! Grown and tended with love. Enjoy, and let us know what you think. ~Janine Pickett

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin
