Pretty Petty Poetry Newsletter
June 1st, – Happy Father’s Day and Congratulation to the Grads, Happy Ramadan,
Hello and welcome to Pretty Petty Poetry Newsletter, and this will be a monthly newsletter.
YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/prettypetty2010
I’m Amanda D. Petty. I was born in 1982, drowned at 22 months old and live in a power wheelchair, and I’ve got Spastic Cerebral Palsy on my left side of my body, and I’ve got speech impairment. In 2001, God gave me a very powerful gift of poetry. In January of 2012, I thought of writing poetry for other people. On July 10th, 2012, “Pretty Petty Poetry” has started! On April 7th, 2015, Eric Brown is a partner of “Pretty Petty Poetry”.
My Thoughts: Somehow, some unreal way, I’m doing this business. Weird, how life takes you on a trip when you least except to go. As I reflect on my life, it truly amazed me. Beside this business, God has been there for me. Yes, He wouldn’t leave me alone, I know that. But, I’m talking about the people that Heavenly Father sent me. He sends people in my life for a reason. I don’t know what the reason is, at the time. But, as I look back on it, I see the reason. For an example: Doug Shepherd, my physical therapist. If I haven’t see him in church, when I did, he wouldn’t be my pt; another example is Eric Brown. These two men have truly touched my life. Many people say that I touch their lives and I’m a great blessing. But, I don’t understand how. How can I be a blessing? For me, I am living the way I know how. I guess, they are serving Christ when they serve me.
My Spiritual Thoughts: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints/Mormon: In the LDS Religion, we have Temples where we do very sacred ordinances. In July sometime, I’m going to the Temple for the very first time. For the non-member, this may seem nothing. To the members, they know how big importance of this really is. I’ve been waiting for this since I was a year old. Am I nervous? Kind of because it’ll be new. But, I’m ready.
If you’re a Spiritual person of any religion, we would love to put your thoughts in the newsletter. Don’t be afraid, we won’t be scornful. Just e-mail us: prettypetty2010@gmail.com or pyroatfire@yahoo.com, and put in the “subject bar”: “My Spiritual thought for the Pretty Petty Poetry Newsletter”. We would like to have them before the 1st of the month or sooner. We won’t put your name. But, we will put your religion.
The News: We will be off for two weeks the last week of June and the first week of July
Happy Birthday: June 1-July 29, we’ll be doing FREE poems about happy, upbeat poems.
We hope all men have a great Father’s Day.
Pretty Petty Club: The club will be open on September 9th, at 7:00pm, Utah. Anyone and everyone is welcome. It’ll be at the LDS Church in Eden. The address is: Click here for the directions: https://www.google.com/maps/place/4279+N+3300+E,+Eden,+UT+84310/@41.3360943,-111.8709442,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x87530aa2d4ae31dd:0x7d54f3c7ecfc6d52?hl=en. If you want to bring a poem, you can! Also, if you want to bring a friend, you can.
About the Club: It is about an hour long because of my Spastic in my CP. Within that hour, you will feel God’s Spirit. I usually bring about five poems to the reading. Anyone can give their feedbacks. Before and after, we say a prayer. Then, we have refreshments. It’s a truly spiritual experience that you won’t have again. You can bring your friends. Also, you can bring a poem or just listen.
Your Thoughts: We truly want your thoughts on this poem:
No Poem.
Please, e-mail us at prettypetty2010@gmail.com or pyroatfire@yahoo.com with YOUR thoughts on this poem.
Poem of the Month:
No poem because I’m not ready to share my dad’s poems yet.
Lyrics of the Month: Poetry has a plethora of styles, and our ultimate favorite is lyrics.
This month is for the fathers, and it’s a sad time for my family because we lost a great man: Steve Petty. He’s my dad. There’s a song by the Tenors that ALWAYS makes me think of dad. We love and miss you, dad. RIP, my Papa Bear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J1xHImY7pk
Want help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.
For New Comers: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011. For more information: www.prettypettypoetry.blogspot.com; everything is there.
