I have another tip for word nerds and lovers of word games. Though I don't write poetry, I also find that the exercises in the book "poemcrazy: freeing your life with words" by Susan G. Woolridge are truly inspiring. And good for Scrabble fans! Ahh, you’ve hit home with this writer/journalist. I have another tip for word nerds and lovers of word games.

I've been enjoying it ever since I signed up last month. I am a true word nerd, and luckily I am surrounded by many of my ilk. Sharing fun word items is a real turn on. No wonder Conz has a crush on Charles. He IS dreamy! Mel, thanks for turning me on to this inbox treat. I’ve been enjoying it ever since I signed up last month.

A long standing mystery has been partially solved for me. I have a very old Native American Rug (Navajo I think) which incorporates that symbol. According to our man Charles the root comes from Sanskrit "Svasti" which means well being. While I don't know that the Navajo are using the symbol specifically with "well being" in mind, knowing the origination affirms my belief that something along those lines is intended. I now have a different route of investigation to follow. Thanks Charles! Podictionary 114 (earlier this week) was for the word “Swastika”. A long standing mystery has been partially solved for me.
