Hand-to-Hand Offerings by Angela Hoffman

Angela Hoffman has lived her entire life in rural Wisconsin. The pandemic and her retirement coincided, making the ground ripe for writing poetry. Angela committed to writing a poem a day during the pandemic, never realizing she would be doing so for more than two years. Her first book, Resurrection Lily, was just released and a second, OllyOllyOxen Free, is forthcoming in 2023. In addition to writing, Angela enjoys yoga, reading, painting, hiking, and searching for treasures at second-hand stores. Learn more about her at https://www.facebook.com/angelahoffmanpoet.

So true. Hand-to-hand offerings, variety of images bring back memories of a stone all smooth, yesterdays gift of gold delivered by mail, wrapped by the giver in central Illinois mason jars of honey and maple syrup. Thank you, Angela.

A handmade gift is a gift of time, saying "you mean so much to me, I took time to make this for you"a truly invaluable gift!
