My mother, Leslye Layne Russell, was a poet and true creative spirit. She passed away before she published her poetry, and in the months prior to her death, I promised to publish and share her writing. Here it is!!!

We, as a family, own and reserve the rights to her amazing work. A book will be published soon... in 2024!

This episode is appropriate for all audiences!!! Poetry is an age old tradition and in the way of knowledge simply points to truths about life. That being said, if you are a minor, here is a special message for you...

Young Audiences - This episode was created with all ages in mind. In general, if there is ever a topic that feels triggering or that you have more questions about, reach out to a safe and caring adult. It is important to talk about the serious things in life and to have loving people available to do so.
