   Sorry, the writer's name was mistaken. It is Anne Carr.

      Nice poem. The author seems to be trying to come to terms with personal issues in her sweet life.
      
      This writer is not who I thought she was. I follow a long-time writer here on HP by the name of Ann Carr (no "e" at the end of her first name). She lives in the UK and has become a good friend over the years.

         Yes, true. I, too, got confused by the name when I landed on another post by this Kid Anne last week. I searched the About Profile and then followed her. She is posting some interesting and appealing articles.
         
         I do not know what happened to our old friend, Ann Carr. She was a great inspirer for most of us with her articles and Hub Challenges.

   Venka, I'll have to email her to see what she's been up to. We used to email quite regularly then life got in the way and I haven't heard from her in a while.
   
   Thanks for jogging my mind!

         Venka, I sent Ann an email a few minutes ago. I'll let you know when she responds. I did let her know you were asking about her.

               Venka, I heard back from Ann. She's spending time with family (grandkids), working in her garden, and writing occasionally. She has a novel in the works but is taking her time with it as writing a novel is quite daunting compared to writing articles. The spectrum is much broader and requires a different mindset, not to mention a ton of time.
               
               She's doing well and hopes to do a bit of traveling in the near future. She also wanted me to extend her gratitude to you for thinking about her.

                  Many many thanks, Shauna, for updating me about her health. I am glad to know that she is enjoying her life with grandchildren and, at the same time, investing her precious time in writing a book. I pray God for her well-being and success, as well as for you.
