Always Enough (Book) - 7/28/2006 8:10:11 PM
Incredible Find, July 13, 2006 Reviewer: Piano Man - See all my reviews Sue, the main character is very interesting . . . provocative and captivating. Some readers describe her as some one with a 'natural intensity' . . . but I tend to think she is more intellectually deep thus causing her to question everything. I love that passionate, risk taking and sensual side of her. There are so many sides to this novel, the character development is amazing, i.e. Carrie, a character that I can't seem to let go of; or Eric, with his calculating rough edges, yet is so amazingly sensitive to Sue. But more importantly, I was really blown away at what happens in this story... A great story. It's shocking because you don't see it coming and yet when the book comes to an end, every detail has an overwhelming impact. Now I'm full of things to talk about and wishing everyone I knew had read it so we could talk . . . I highly recommend it! It's a classic, because it's a story that will never go away...

Always Enough (Book) - 7/27/2006 10:14:12 PM
How extraordinarily thankful I am to have stumbled across this incredible work. It captivated me like no other novel.. L.K. Craft has written an inspired story that heals one’s soul, and exactly at a time that I needed healing. Love is too often presented as heavy on infatuation and short on substance. Always Enough is nothing but substance. It is a celebration of how powerful true love can be. L. K. Craft has deeply given of herself in this book. If you are reading this Ms. Craft, I say thank you for writing from your heart. I say thank you for awakening me to the beauty that I take for granted. Thank you creating characters that are real and insightful, sexually intense and provocative. Thank you for your refreshing, nonjudgmental view of spirituality. Most of all, I thank you for bringing to light how true love, like nothing else, can heal and inspire people to the highest pinnacles of creativity and artistry, and goodness and joy. We can all be better “lovers” because of your book.

So, It's Just Another Day? (Short Story) - 11/14/2009 6:00:21 AM
They say that you can't see the forest because of the trees. It's too bad that we have go thought bad times before we realize that there is more to life them just being here. When we realize that only god can comfort us at our times of need. I lost my grandson recently he fought in Iraq only to be killed in America soil. God is the only one that can carry us though and give us the inner strength needed in this world. May God keep blessing you always. Henry

L.K. this is a superb write and also a constant reminder. I enjoyed the way all of your words were woven together. "Dying To See You" is certainly true in my book. Have a most blessed holiday, ~Gwendolyn

I have really enjoyed your trains of thought,you are a very good writer.

Dying To See You! (Short Story) - 7/29/2007 9:01:08 AM
Powerful and so true. Who paid our way to spend forever in heaven! I am looking forward to spending my first day with Jesus because I have so many unanswered questions only he can answer!

Reflections of Your Truth (Short Story) - 4/12/2007 8:04:54 PM
Well done

It Was Never About Them . . . (Short Story) - 4/6/2007 10:59:23 AM
This is a perfect illustration of the frustrations most of us encounter in our daily lives and teaches an important lesson of how we should all be thinking. I'm really glad I read this today. I needed it. Thanks for the reminder that we should all be prayerfully patient and tollerant in all things. ~Butch

So, It's Just Another Day? (Short Story) - 2/18/2007 7:38:31 PM
It took a devastating loss in my family to make me realize how precious each day we are given truly is and that tomorrow is not guaranteed. The now common saying "live today like it's your last one on earth" is good advice for all of us. Savor each moment. ~Butch

Life (Short Story) - 1/24/2007 6:29:23 AM
It is our capacity to believe -to keep the faith and live each day in it that gives us hope for this world. Well done. ~Butch

A well written tribute to Notre Dame and its football. Thank you for sharing.

A Delightful Moment (Short Story) - 11/5/2006 8:30:14 PM
I very much like the way you are able to incorporate your emotions through words. As a writer, I try to filter my thoughts through my mind, heart and soul before I put pen to paper. Good job!

A Delightful Moment (Short Story) - 9/23/2006 7:36:00 PM
Wow. I like this. I think I've acted like the guy in your poem more than once. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace, Regis

Disappointed! ANTIQUE ROADSHOW Tickets (Article) - 7/25/2009 6:02:13 PM
I'm in Denver - my friend won tickets and I went with her. Be glad you didn't get tickets - we waited in the first group of lines an hour and a half....no seating (you could bring your own chair). Then onto line 2 where you are grouped by what type your item is...then on to line 3 (if you have different groupings you get one item appraised then wait in yet another line) When I finally got to my first group the line was fairly short - I thought not much longer. Well it would have been however they liked an item and we all waited 25 minutes until they were finished the line did not move at all. At last the line finally started moving again - I was almost there. I walked around the wall and was given a 1 minute appraisal price only (which I feel was incorrect) no information about my item and the appraiser barely looked at it. Two and a half hours for this???? OK on to my second item grouping, hopefully this would be something they were interested in and I would get more information. After another hour in line the same thing...a quick one minute appraisal without barely looking at my item. If you are lucky enough to have something they want to air you get the full enchilada however if it's something they are not interested in all you get is long lines, sore back, sore feet, and a long day. No food, drink, or cell phones allowed. We arrived at 9:30 am and left the convention center at 1:15 with only 2 minutes of valued time looking at my items. What a dissapointment! I love the show however they are playing the odds having a lot of people wait and only the very few chosen getting a fair appraisal. I won't ever be applying for tickets again!

Captured By The Little Things (Article) - 7/10/2009 4:38:50 AM
I'm a recent 'returnee' to Author's Den and just read your essay "Captured By The Little Things". I have always felt this way and used to call these moments - 'magic moments' when time stood still and a person felt one with the universe. I wish everyone could experience these times... and maybe they do, but keep it to themselves. Enjoy your cell phone camera. I take pictures constantly and they are great to help recapture a moment - but nothing really captures what your eyes see and heart feels.

Susan Boyle: SO MUCH MORE THAN A SONG (Article) - 6/8/2009 3:44:08 PM
Thanks for such a thought provoking article. It is a sad fact of life that most of the developed world works on these false preconceptions. Which of two talented applicants gets the job - the one who appears dowdy or the one who is attractive? Who do you chat with in the street? The person who is well groomed or the person in the cast-off overcoat who obviously hasn't had the chance to shower recently? I could go on. Now more than ever we have the chance to see that we are more than our appearances. Many people have had to "downgrade" their lives lately. Some have very sadly lost their homes. Now we see that people on the street are just like the rest of us, only they have nowhere permanent to live. Thanks, Susan Boyle, for showing us our not-so-pretty selves. It's just too bad that already you have been hurt by the system that seems to love you so much.

Susan Boyle: SO MUCH MORE THAN A SONG (Article) - 6/1/2009 5:41:01 AM
Thoughtful and true. Well written.

Susan Boyle: SO MUCH MORE THAN A SONG (Article) - 4/23/2009 6:54:54 AM
I saw this performance by Susan Boyle. Never have I been so moved and so humbled by her voice and her rendition of the song from Les Miserable. I was in tears when she finished. If she isn't made a star from that performance alone someone is missing the oppotutnity of a lifetime. Where has she been hiding? And "Yes" we are killing peoples dreams based on skin deep beauty rather than God given talent.

Captured By The Little Things (Article) - 3/27/2009 5:32:15 PM
I enjoyed this information, and like the photo/drawing! Good for you...I am so brain dead now that I am not working at a reg job...so I stopped using my cellphone almost immediately except for emergencies! I have a camera, but don't have the plan ...thought it was all included! however, my daughter does the same as yours, as does my g-son, and stepkids who all send me pix's... By the way...I was interested in your name... I was a L.K.Craft myself once...hehe... so was curious? What is your first name? Mine is Linda Law now... your website is interesting as well.. hugs, lindalaw

I Am Not Amused . . . (Article) - 7/15/2008 2:14:58 PM
I don't like to see stereotypes continued, even in jest. It's just a way for the ignorant to say "See, I told you so." Not The New Yorker's finest moment. eg

I Am Not Amused . . . (Article) - 7/14/2008 11:32:40 PM
I'm a non-American Obama supporter - I think he'll be the best thing for the western world since...since I don't know. But surely, we must not, in our enthusiasm, become over-sensitive to the point of stifling satire and free speech generally. I am aware that many Americans think that Obama is a muslim of some sort, and that this will tend to reinforce prejudice, but I don't think we should limit freedom of expression because of this. Hope you guys elect him!

I Am Not Amused . . . (Article) - 7/14/2008 5:06:27 PM
Nor was I. The New Yorker should apologize and explain their thoughtless error on their next magazine cover.

L.K. Carter, Thank you for the exposing goodness and specialities in others in the small but big places. Aloha and Best, Myles Saulibio

CNN, HARDBALL, MSNBC, FOX and others are the NH Primary LOSER's (Article) - 1/10/2008 2:01:22 AM
Commentary indeed. If you turn off the sound and watch a boxing match on TV, you’ll see an entirely different fight. If you leave the sound on an listen to the commentary, then you’ll be shocked when the guy you strangely thought was winning ends up getting knocked out cold. Good article.

Reflections of Your Truths (Article) - 4/12/2007 10:34:13 AM
Most of us would flunk your insightful, provocative, and introspective examination, Mrs. Craft. However, it is a test we should all strive to pass. Reginald V. Johnson, author, "How To Be Happy, Successful, & Rich"

City Council Is Nothing More Than Reality TV (Article) - 7/30/2006 5:09:40 AM
All politics are a cartoon, city or otherwise, of the worst behavior, conflict of interest imaginable. And these groups are proud of it. Elizabeth

Reflecting thoughts like these and passing them on makes you a great saint. Thanks for specifying the verses and making them more understandable. Some people do need this translations.

HIM (Poetry) - 7/4/2008 9:52:22 PM
Yes, we live in a plastic society. God is real and Jesus makes life worth living. Purpose Driven Life is an awesome interactive book. You have learned well and your heart is revealed through your poetry. John Michael

This is beautiful and I wholly relate to your sensitive, perhaps empathic, nature. You have a unique form of expression that is very lovely.

Looking Outward (Poetry) - 5/20/2008 10:58:30 AM

Painting . . . (Poetry) - 1/27/2008 6:17:04 PM
Your writing is almost tenderly offered. I enjoyed this piece, particularly the line that reads "Art is in both the experience and outcome." That is how I feel exactly about my paintings, photography and poems. Thank you for sharing this touching work.

A nice description of the creative "process." Well done.

HIM (Poetry) - 2/19/2007 6:26:29 PM
