We’re so often weighed down by experiences of our past… The times we fell short, the heartbreaks, the mistakes, the labels placed on us… And we choose, often without realizing it, to hold onto it all. In a way, we find security in grasping those rocks, those weights, as if they are an anchor that…

The Simple Yet Profound Power in Just ONE word…
MINDFUL. I chose it, or I should say, it chose ME as my “word” for this year. I’m not a New Year’s Resolutions kind of girl and haven’t been for years. I see the fizzle and fade of that. The hype and drive that quickly die often just weeks into the year. The Word of…
The grasp on our own lives
In a moment’s glance in a moment’s time, Do we sit and ponder or create a rhyme? Do we dance in the shadows of all that we’ve seen, Or create the depiction and decipher the dream? Perhaps we are standing on the edge of it all, The ledge of tomorrow, to leap or to fall….
Your Dreams Depend on the Chase, Not Just the Follow…
We’re always told to “follow” our dreams… In a world where we need to pave our own way. Our dreams aren’t always a proven path, a straight line, a simple format, especially when we are ones to think outside the box, dream big, envision change, and aim to rewrite the narrative. They may point us…
A Beautiful Truth about Someday…
I was reminded of something extremely powerful yesterday. Ten years ago I made a post in Facebook saying “With every word, every poem, every story, I can feel that I’m getting closer. Someday, I’ll be not just a writer, I’ll be an AUTHOR.” It was a blatant yet eye-opening reminder of the importance of recognizing…

Random thoughts, a poem that wasn’t meant to rhyme… The kaleidoscope doesn’t pause these days. It’s confusing at times. It’s frightening at times. It’s beautiful at times. It doesn’t stop to allow us to take a breath, Or to indulge in the moment, To just be and to see. But the way we view it……
My words in the mirror…
Look in the mirror. Pause there, my friend. Look straight ahead. Do not turn, do not bend. Make eye contact. Eyes open wide. Look past the glare. Look deep inside. What stares back at you? What speaks your voice? Does it tease and taunt? Or does it give you a choice? Be real, and be…
A thank you to all those going above and beyond during this time…
“It is often when the world challenges us, That our true colors begin to show. The goodness comes to light in others, You see the lengths that they will go. The sheer strength and determination, The compassion from within their soul, Such care, and faith and love, As they strive for a common goal. Helping…
A bit of humor and rhyme in a difficult time…
‘Twas the days of coronavirus and all through each house, The families were quarantined, even the mouse, The canned goods were piled on the shelf with great care, And wishes were made for a breath of fresh air. The children were up late because schools were all closed, And remained indoors to remain unexposed. Watching…
You are the designer of the road you will pave…
Sometimes there’s a bliss, a pivotal moment, You want to just seize it, grab it and own it. Bask in the moment, don’t let it pass by, Simply trust that there is always a reason why. This is your inspiration, this is your drive, This is the feeling that shows you’re alive. The dreams that…
