The end of the beginning is here and I am honored by our dear friend, the talented and beautiful Rachel of In Mind and Out who asked me to read her poem, “A Night Full of Subtleties”.
If you have not yet visited Rachel’s blog–you are missing out on so much tenderness and grace–now is your chance.

When Rachel first posted this lovely poem, I read it aloud to my husband–who smiled. 😊
I hope this spoken word piece puts a smile on your face as well. It was a joy for me to create for you, Rachel, and a perfect ending to my own story.
Thank you. 💓🤗💓
WLaG,

Absolutely beautifully spoken. And written. And musically accompanied, and transcripted. A true multimedia collaborative work of art — the best kind. ❤️

I will certainly check her blog out! Nina, I don’t think words could describe the gift/talent you have! It would be wonderful if your voice could be used on cds for reading stories/books aloud! I don’t even know how one would go about doing something like that! But your voice is so soothing and beautiful! Truly a gift you are my friend! 💜

Thanks for the encouraging words! I’ve missed you too 💓
