More of Felicity...

In order to add some flair to the Newsletter I make for the Spouse's Association of my husband's organization, I would sometimes have Felicity introduce my editorial notes on the first page and lead readers into what I hoped would be a pleasant reading experience. Below, find those glimpses of Felicity's world that appeared in the respective issues:

Spring (April-June) '05

"Sunlight peaked through dew-smitten branches of newborn leaves to plant a warm kiss on her cheek. A playful breeze tickled the wind chime above her and as Felicity brought herself to wakefulness, her lips took on a smile. The song of spring had come to melt her inhibitions and help her soar…"


Fall (October-December) '06

"The summer sun began its final descent towards the horizon, its gleaming sunrays leaving warm kisses as they slipped over the meadows and the tree tops. The leaves leapt to grasp that last bit of golden sunlight, turning shades of rust and copper. As the breeze sang its quiet goodbye and the stream let go of its gold shimmer, the sun gradually disappeared behind the purple hills, leaving the sky a canvas of pinks and reds.

She looked down to find one of her fallen beads with the reds, gold and rusts swirling within.

Just like that, she thought, autumn had come."


Winter (January-March) '07 - My last issue

"A gust of wind caught Felicity’s hair and sent her thick locks flying in all directions. It sent a rush of excitement through her and out poured a nice helping of brightly colored beads, some twirling on her hair tips before bouncing onto the grass below where they proceeded to roll around for a while. She stood there, at the edge of the forest, ready to step to the other side. Just then she heard the faint but familiar tinkle of a wind chime in the distance, and one of her squishy beads, swollen with emotion and memories crept down the side of her cheek. She took a deep breath, blew a kiss behind her and raced on to her new tomorrow. "
