Call for Submissions

As we come back around to Mother's Day, I'll be posting some powerful entries on aspects of losing one's mom. Powerful, but also artful and in their own way, reassuring. In the meantime, please take a look at the upcoming calls for submissions. The theme for the next two calls is "Life was good when ...." I invite you to send positive, heartwarming, humorous, happy, or silly memories about mothers, fathers, and mother and father figures into June. And from there, we will explore "Our Siblings, Ourselves."
