Dear Humans of San Quentin,

Thank you so much for referring me to the Prison Journalism Project. I appreciate you showing value in my emotions, feelings and thoughts. I am grateful for your encouragement in my writings. Your compassion is very much heart felt and valued.

I wish everyone a happy new year. May good health bless everyone as we all move forward in these difficult times. I hope your loving kindness continues to change the minds and hearts of others, so that more human beings can step back into the light.

Enclosed are a few more writings by me. Hopefully it can express and display to others how it feels like to be a person serving LWOP.

Take care and happiness to all.

With much Metta,

My
