We all know the story and the song about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Ridiculed for his red shiny nose. Ostracized because he was different. When it really mattered, that difference made all the difference in the world. Here’s my poem to encourage and celebrate unique, out of the ordinary individuals. Your special self just may be what saves the day.

They call me Rudy.
I’m Santa’s buddy.
I’ve got a red pug nose everyone thinks is funny.
When Santa takes flight, I light up the night.
I’m fast. I’m swift. I help Santa give out gifts.
No one laughs anymore at my bright red nose.
So be who you are from your head to your toes.
Let your light shine through.
Be proud of special you.
Be like me, unique.
You’re a star on two feet.
See you next time on January 22, 2022.
Happy New Year!

This month, I’d like to share with you a few of the books that have moved, inspired, and touched my life. They are the voices of fellow-women across the globe; sisters, friends, women.
Picture books, that welcoming world of imagery and words that capture the heart and the imagination. And most wonderful of all, when the story is true and reveals a hidden gem.
“Books can’t be used as weapons. They can’t fill a hungry stomach or quench thirst. They can’t cure illnesses, loneliness or prejudice.”
Or can they?
When you’re a kid, the most you should have to stress over is doing your homework, and the biggest fear should be a zit in the middle of your forehead just before your birthday party.
Here’s my poem to encourage and celebrate unique, out of the ordinary individuals. Your special self just may be what saves the day.
