As Hilary McRee Flanery...no, not "Hillary" of "It Takes A Village" but Hilary who MADE a village!! I write short stories and books to bare my soul because after 10 kids, God KNOWS I can’t bare my body.
My nom de plume, Long-Skirts, I use to sign my poetry. Why? Because I love “being a girl” and after 10 kids it’s a great way to hide one’s multitude of sins …varicose veins.
"With Christians, a poetical view of things is a duty, --we are bid to color all thing with hues of faith, to see a divine meaning in every event, and a superhuman tendency." (Cardinal Newman: Essays Critical and Historical, 19th cent.)
