I received a delightful message from Sharon at Watermark.  She wrote:
Cyndi, I just discovered your blog, and your moon journal project from last year.
I wrote a full-moon poem every month last year. Your journals are so wonderful, and brought that exercise back to me. If you are interested, you can find my poems in the category “Moon Poems” at Watermark.
