I like to play with words, or on the days it doesn’t feel like play, I would say I like to build with letters across the page. Scrambled within my mind, I take letters then rearrange them to construct a creative expression, an insightful sentence, witty banter, or jumbled content that sometimes leaves me to question the context I am trying to frame.
DNA, the framework of all life, and three meaningful letters that led me to ask a question about how I viewed mine. In the answer, I discovered that when there is an exchange in perspective, it creates another side to the frame, and from that view things began to look a whole different way.

Daughter Now Awake
Discovering New Adventures
I know I am not alone. I am not the only one with a frame because every life has lessons, heartaches, triumphs, challenges, that shape a view as unique and meaningful as the DNA within us. So I ask, do you like to play with words or build with letters? If so, will you join me in a word game (instructions below) and share the letters that have also shaped you?
