morning gifts; gratitude in the early hours

Image
Hi! Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. I have been thinking a lot about how much I enjoy mornings and how great it is to have a few minutes to reflect and start the day. Do you have a favorite morning routine, or do you prefer evenings? Moments Morning starts with light flowing from stillness - a glow- a pause- sunlight warms your face and even your dreams can still be felt ever tangible In the wind is the whisper of possibility and I embrace the joy of what is to come

Finding Your Happiness: Poetry on feeling IT.

Image
Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are doing well. During this time I have been surprisingly busy... doing nothing. Nothing much on the outside. Laundry and other housework are done at an unhurried pace. Everything gets done, I just don't stress over being quick with it. I have enjoyed slowing down on purpose, even in regards to things that seem important. In other words, I have relaxed. I have given more conscious thought to what makes me happy and I do that. In the same way I had to learn to love my body (body image not too good growing up) and appreciate it, I am loving and cherishing and tending to my mental health. I want as little stress as possible. I am seeking happiness. So that is what I am doing, and that is what my newest poetry is about. I know things are crazy right now, the days can seem overwhelming and the light may seem far away, but I have faith we will get there. Sooner rather than later. I hope you are feeling encouraged, allow peace

Gratitude, a powerful force. Poetry for times like this.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Hope this finds you well. Feeling grateful these days, and also very reflective. I have been counting my blessings, that's for sure! Today's poem is about gratitude. I hope you enjoy. Stay safe, and remember- pause and breathe in all the love that surrounds you, all the time. :) Thankful  For all the smiles, hugs  and prayers I am grateful For all the bounty, laughter and dreams I am thankful For all the  visions, heartfelt talks and beauty I am filled with gratitude. My heart stills before the truth of your generosity, and the warmth of the future shines down upon me. Final thoughts? Only this: In each moment we are offered a million reasons to smile, to say thank you, to give back the love that we are showered with. Making the world a better place isn't so hard. Or at least, it shouldn't be. Stay safe, spread the love, and shine your light!! Until next time,    

Feeling the unity, so important right now! A poem and reflection.

Hello. May I take this moment to wish you well, and say thank you for stopping by. I have felt the need to write, express myself lately but have also felt so uneasy with all that is going on. I am reminding myself of truths that I know, trying to focus on holding onto peace and normalcy, grow in some way from this experience. This is kind of where I am right now, and so I offer you the words below with blessing and hope. And gratitude. Thank you. We are One One voice One heart One LOVE One One whisper One wave One sun One One life One heart One LOVE One ; We are One We are One Underneath the lies and dreams there is only truth existing as us there is love one love - Us ! Remember to live from that one love Remember to Be that love, honor the life that you are and everything will be well again

Solitude and Wisdom: poetry for now and always

Hi! Wecome! I am glad you are here. I hope all is well with you and that we are finding reasons to feel encouraged and blessed today. I am just getting back into the writing space again and it feels very good. I thought my newest poems would be on carving out space, enjoying and intentionally growing from time spent in solitude. Here is the first! I hope this resonates and uplifts. It is always my intention to be positive, encouraging and inspiring. Enjoy!! Solitude moments of darkness when the wind barely breathes silence fills the air around me and we inhale we expand my hope for tomorrow in moments of rest between beating hearts and restless minds love can breathe truth can be known and finally lived if we have the courage to step into the space that solitude gives birth to so light will come, following the dark, and joy will flow like a waterfall gushing forth when we quiet our fears and calm our sadness done best in silence and with openness

Miracles

Hi! Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I am glad you are here. Today's poem is on miracles. Specifically, that life is full of miracles. You are a miracle.  Yes, YOU! How does that sit with you? So what does that mean, and why am I inspired to write about it? It means that life truly is amazing, that healings and happiness are our birthright. It means that I am focusing on seeing the good , as well as being the good . I am inspired to write about it because of the new year, because of books I have been reading, and just because I need life to feel that way. Below are some poems. I hope you enjoy! How I See How I see you how I judge myself tells the story of the past, not what I want to see in the future and it doesn't reflect reality only a dream one that we both agreed upon somewhere in love's continuum and now I choose to see only love only love only love Dervish I will dance and twirl in celebration in joy in t

Working and reflection

New writing, courtesy of a few months of working and inner searching. Hope you enjoy, and thank you for sharing in my passion:) Birth Pushing the words out leaving screams     on the page can you hear them hollow verbs and nouns     upon stark white giving my dreams and sorrows a shadow of a life     temporary like a puff of smoke; how long must I labor to birth my story into the world Mantra Life should not be like this Life should not be like this Life should not be like this Life should not be like this Life should not be like this. I will change my life into what it should be. I will change my life into what it should be. I will.
