About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
I took this today as I was sitting on my back patio with my notebook and pen. This is the view from my chair when I look straight up. We have some lovely old shade trees in our backyard! Our August has been so uncharacteristically mild and I could not help but doze off sitting out there today...the weather is just perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Kristin,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog having seen a link on Bill Kenney's blog. I've read several of your postings and find them all lovely. You have a beautiful daughter.
