Pillow Fight for a Cause
First, my Creative Bio:
Born and bred unto the pain of poverty and abuse, Ruth Cox (aka abitosunshine) often shares the darkest days of her life in her poetry and prose. Her poetic creations are inspired by her desire to be a voice for the victims of such demons and hopes that in so doing, the cries of the victims shall be heard.
Cox believes "a bit o' sunshine can always be found peekin' out o' the clouds" and has spent a lifetime spreading "nuttin' but sunshine" with her "sun-bespeckled ink." She now does same with her poetic creations which can be purchased at CafePress abitosunshine!
Announcing:
This pillow is designed with matching mugs personalized with your name. So be sure to let me know before you place an order what name you wish placed on your mug.
I will be adding an array of designs to my Pillow Fight for a Cause collection and all will be available for purchase at CafePress abitosunshine! If you have a cause that is near and dear to your heart and would like me to design a decorator pillow & poem to reflect that cause, please let me know, and I'll be happy to attempt to do so.

Announcing:
This, one of many decorator pillows to be created and offered by CafePress abitosunshine, is dedicated to my friend, Kevin and to the creation of his Gather Group, Windmill Fighters United. Here is Kevin's group description:
"For anyone who has the courage to fight for lost causes even when no one else will join them. For those who fight battles they know are lost before they fight them not because they have a chance to win them but because it's the right thing to do. This is a support group to encourage the windmill fighters to keep fighting because the world needs windmill fighters so badly. This is a group to give a shoulder and an ear for those brave enough to wear the mantle of windmill fighter."
I trust that you will Join Gather.com, Befriend Kevin, and immediately Join Windmill Fighters United, in support and encouragement of all windmills worth fighting.
This pillow is designed with matching mugs personalized with your name. So be sure to let me know before you place an order what name you wish placed on your mug.

Sunshine Bandit -- Child Abuse
This topic strikes very close to home for me ... in more ways than one.

To steal the sun from fertile land,
Leave in its place a cloud of gloom-
How dare you take me by the hand,
Walk me across the crowded room...
To whip the wind from pleasant hum,
Down to the dirt and cowed in space-
How dare you take songs that I strum,
String them along in shrouded place...
To slice the sky with frozen dart,
Douse my dreams with a silver storm-
How dare you take hold of my heart,
Bleed it broken in ploughed field form.

Passin' To 'n' Fro

This poetic creation is also published here on my Gather pages, along with comments of readers there.
