Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Cecilia Brainard

I wish all my read­ers the best this hol­i­day sea­son! Bless­ings to you and your loved ones.

I am shar­ing with you a poem that appeared in the Novem­ber 2024 issue of the Philip­pine Graph­ic.  I do not always write poet­ry so this is “rare” if you will. Fur­ther, the Graph­ic, along with Focus Philip­pines and Mr. & Ms. were some of the mag­a­zines that pub­lished my ear­ly writ­ings, and so this pub­li­ca­tion of “My Moth­er’s Skirts” is spe­cial to me.

You can still get a copy of the Novem­ber 2023 Graph­ic from Laza­da.  To those abroad, I am shar­ing this snap­shot of the cov­er and page with my story.
