Imagine for a moment you are in your cozy home and without warning a
violent storm awakens you out of a sound sleep. Suddenly, there is no
light, only darkness. You struggle to breathe, gasping for any sign of
air. Then, you realize this is it; you are slowly dying from
suffocation, due to lack of oxygen. Now, imagine you are a gopher
tortoise and this happens everyday because someone does not care and
makes the decision to build a house where you live, with no care or
concern that you were there first. Now, imagine that this could have
been prevented if the person who did this cared about wildlife and
moved you and your family to a new location, not threatened by their
development or did not build there in the first place. But they did not
care.
About Me
- Janylee McGlinchy
- I am a Christian woman of God. I was given the gift of a child to raise, and I am thankful for being chosen to be a mother. I am a published author. I write poetry and stories, meditations and reflections. I offer my writing as a gift to the world, though I long for the day that I will be published for royalties. I have three compilations of poetry and stories titled Heartstrings. I have letters published in several newspapers along the East coast. I am passionate about writing. I come from a family of writers in Maine. I am related to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edna St. Vincent Millay. I write from the heart. I am an old fashioned gal and sentimental lady. The rivers are wide and deep. I work hard at trying to capture the emotions behind my writing. And because I love words ardently, as Emily Dickinson did, I have wept over my own writing. I am a romantic poet and I still believe in the fairy tale romance. I am also passionate about helping the poor and needy. I can often be found ministering to the homeless. And if I had only two coins, I would give them away, because it is greater to give than to receive.
