Happy Mother's Day to All the Moms Who Read Writer's Notes!
To wish all the moms who read my blog a Happy Mother's Day, I'd like to post my poem, "Mothers." (As soon as you begin reading it, you'll recognize immediately the famous poem on which it's based.)
MOTHERS
I think that I shall never see
a brush surpass the artistry
That brings to bud the eve or morn
a helpless little babe is born
The delicate maternal bloom
that sheds a fragrant new perfume,
That nurtures with the nectar of
a sweet and freely flowing love
And fills her field with beauty spread
by outstretched arms and sun-turned head.
Art can tap one well or other,
but only God can make a mother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may have read Mothers on the Orble Poems blog. It's posted there, though on that blog, it's formatted slightly differently.
If you'd like to read some modern quotes about motherhood, here's a link to my post, Cleverly Contemporary Quotes on Motherhood.
Have a very Happy Mother's Day!

A New List of Links for Your Mother's Day (and Everyday) Reading Pleasure
Since Mother's Day is just about here, I thought I'd post some new links for writing moms, as well as linking to my two posts from last Mother's Day, which include more great mom/writing links. (I've checked these posts and removed the links that are no longer valid.)
Some of the newer links are specifically for moms who write, while others tend to be blogs where the blogger writes about motherhood. (Some of these do, however, discuss writing in some of their posts, along with mothering. These mommy bloggers are, after all, writers.) A few of the links provide resources for moms who write, and one even invites contributions from writing moms.
There's some fascinating stuff here for all you mom writers--so sit back and enjoy! And don't forget to visit these sites and bookmark your favorites. There should be something here for pretty much every writing mom.)

An Unexpected Change in Google PR
I just learned today that, after losing my PR 3 during the last Google PR update and going down to PR 0 (presumably due to posting sponsored content), my blog is now PR 2. I learned this quite by accident while checking the number of backlinks to my blog. This was quite a surprise to me, since I wasn't aware that changes in Google PR occurred outside the times during which official Google PR updates are in progress--a very pleasant surprise--despite the low PR 2. (After all, PR 2 certainly beats PR 0.)
Use This Tool to Find Out Whether Your PR Has Changed
Just in case your PR may also have changed since the last Google update, I've decided to offer this PR checker tool here at Writer's Notes to make it easy for you to check:

A Link to This Tool Will Remain in My Sidebar
I'll also be placing a link to the tool in my sidebar for your convenience, in case you'd like to check your PR periodically while visiting my blog. You'll find this link in my Spotlight Posts section, where I place links to various helpful information, such as my About page, my blog's Awards page (for anyone who may be interested), my Pillar Posts page (where my blog's most helpful posts are listed by category to help you more easily locate them), and the Blog Carnival Feed (where you'll find a continually updating list of blog carnivals).
Hope you'll find this PR checker tool helpful--and also hope you'll find that your Google PR is higher now than it was the last time you checked!
Till next time,
Jeanne
