Random stuff and thoughts

So I'm back again lol and a lot has happened. Well I've got few more new penpals:) I love it lol.

I have actually been struggling on what to write about. Writers block I guess I'm not sure, I've enjoyed reading my letters I'm starting to get one a week at least lol. One of the guys I have started writing to Antoine well I thought when reading his letter how much a letter can do for someone who has no one to talk to. He had said he had read my letter five times that night and it had him laughing. It's a good feeling to know that I'm making someone's day just by writing pages and pages of words lol.

I emailed another guy on www.writeaprisoner.com I actually felt really sad for him and was amazed with his honesty, that's the one thing that makes me want to write whoever I choose to write to, is that they can openly be honest about why they are inside those walls. Pretty much he is doing time for dui and for killing his wife. Obviously it was while he was on his motor cycle. I felt for him for the first time because I could really feel the pain and hurt reading his words (that's just the way I am) lol so I'm hoping he will write back lol.

Last month I had written a guy who is divorced right lol and then I had written another guy who o found on www.prisonvoice.com anyway I got a letter from him and he was saying how he's divorced. I wrote back saying "aaaah I remember u now!" Then I get another letter from the guy I wrote to that's divorced lol so I had completely mixed the two up, oh well lol. So I've got 5-6 letters to send off this weekend. A lot of requests for pictures of England though lol so will have to dig some out!

Lawrence is doing good he should be getting his book released soon and Scott is still helping him with calling around pretty much being his agent. We are just waiting for him to send us some money so we can get some calling cards to phone America. I've always encouraged Steve to get his poems published which he has been told before. So I did some "investigating" on how he can do it and got in touch with a publisher over in America. I am just waiting for Steve to send some poems to me as they need 12 of his poems.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned Kimorn yet lol but he has said something really nice which I will share. More like voicing his thoughts about penpals and we've decided together that he will get his friends to write some stuff out for me to post so that I'm kinda being their voice....getting their thoughts on how it would be and what it would be like to have a penpal.

I know some people would ask "why are you writing to prisoners" I had a discussion with a friend of mine this morning about it, and we've come to the conclusion that I'm free flowing and accepting of what others have done. She had said that there is no way she would be able to do what I'm doing, that she's heard of women who write to prisoners just never thought she would meet one lol...
I guess I'm just more open to being a distand friend to others....I don't know. It gives me something to do and it helps me. It distracts me from things like if I'm having a bad day lol, it makes me feel good and oyd knowing that I can still put a smile on a strangers face ..plus I love to write lol.

Anyway I will post up another day what Kimorn has said.

I hope you guys do enjoy reading my blog and hope that someone at lease does read them. Would like to see comments so I know! Lol

Anyway until next time.

Love Jamie x

A poem from one of my inmates

So a couple of weeks ago I had started to talk to a guy named Steve he's in his 50's and he got put in for taking a phone call it's sad really. I AM the only one he talks to right now and it's really helped him I can tell that for sure.... Anyway he's written me a poem which no one has ever done before and I thought I would share it with you guys:)

I write this poem to you my friend
So its you that I can tell
To let you know your in my mind
As im locked up in my cell
My mind and heart goes out to you
Where ever you might be
Hoping that you wont forget
And youll soon write back to me
Theres nothing like a friend who writes
That a friend you know that cares
To share some thoughts and laughter to
And to look forward what they share
I know you know what letters mean
And how they brighten up your day
Encouragement from words you hear
And with things to you they say
They say the things that give you hope
In the message they do send
A smile when you do hear from them
When you know its from your friend
A smile when you do hear your name
Its a smile for all to see
I do thank you for the smiles you give
And the smiles youve brought to me
You are my friend for life you know
AND my poem is now threw
I hope this poem does make you smile
And may bring a smile to you !!!

My first drawing from Jack

So I was super duper happy today!!!!! because I got my first drawing from Jack in the post today! And not long after I got a call from him so that made me super super duper happy! As its been a while since we have spoken on the phone! I said to Scott "now thats what I call ART!" incase you can't see what he's said as I had asked him to write something to go with the picture he wrote:

"Talk to your body,talk to your mind, and give support to your spirit. these are your friends, your life mates, your agility, your harmony and your joy. Degrade them and they will fail-you not out of revenge but because it is you who keeps them in working order, who supplies them with the strength and well-being they need, Tell your legs and feet and knees how strong and steady they are, and tenderly clean the mind of trash you may have inadvertently thrown there. When something is out of order, call it back to place- and give thanks for the privilege. These are precious things, never talk negatively to them nor condemn them-because you will only be condemning yourself."

What do you guys think? I absolutely love it:) well Jack is always telling me that ?I have to stop talking negative about myself lol and saying if i tell myself I can write, then I will write, if I tell myself that I can write poetry then then I can become a poet lol. I love it Love it LOVE IT!!!!!
