“Thanks…I have felt this for awhile now and will be making the trip over the holiday when I am off work.”

“It’s not just you being pulled by something. Not only I have felt similar pullings (almost physical in existence) but a few of my family members have too. And…I do dream like that all of the time. It’s a wonderful thing and I’m glad you’re going where guided.”

“The next deadline is January 1st.

Here are the guidelines:

And here’s where to submit:

The one in charge is Heather.

Good luck!”

“I have not even considered submitting the First Oath Poem to Oak Leaves. I appreciate the compliment and will look into how you go about doing that.

I also will review my Piety essay and take your thoughts into consideration.

Thank you for sharing your opinions. I take all input seriously and use it as a way to review things with myself. So I sincerely do thank you.”

“Hi. I found you on my friends list and checked out your lj. The example stories in your virtue essays were well-applied, vivid, and riveting! The only problem was the piety one–it was a beautiful piece, but if I had to review it for approval I’d want more on what piety actually is and how it ties in with the nature awareness experiences you described. (my 2 cents)

You’re a wonderful poet too. Have you had your first oath poem in Oak Leaves yet? (if not, you should!)

“hehe…and yer taking me along…right?
