A New Journey

Hi! Thank you for stopping by. I am glad you are here. How has this year been for you, so far? Wow, it is already June! For me, it has been an emotional year - or should I say past few months. I am finding myself in the position of asking what do I really want to do with my life, my time, my passion? I want to be one who offers encouragement, insight, a bit of a nudge. I want my writing to uplift and inspire. So, with that being said, I have only recently begun to write my next poetry book and hold within myself the energy and inspiration to write. I was previously doing something that taxed me beyond what I let on to others and I had no energy left for writing, which is really my passion. Poetry, for me, stems from an untouchable place within. Stress and trying to force it does not work. Good news is I have been given the time to write for now and it feels so good!! I am writing more poetry than I have in a long time and I am allowing myself the cha...

Welcome here! I hope you are well. I am ready for February! Having just a few moments alone gave me the opportunity to reflect on what I am feeling, especially concerning creating the time and space it takes to know and nurture what it is that fulfills you. I wish it wasn't so hard to do that. Anyway, all this reflecting helped inspire this poem. Hope you  enjoy,  and that you hear your song. Song I hear the call of my song The melody stays in my head I am gasping for air now Every time I think of living from The place my song comes from I want to stop the wanting And just be Be free to be who I want to be To give life and expression To the notes within my soul.

Hi! Welcome back!! Thank you for joining me and sharing your time with me. I have been away for far too long!      I have been thinking about purpose so much lately. Do things need to have a purpose, do I have to be on purpose in all things? Where is the room for joy in relation to purpose? I guess I have been wanting to relax, to feel joyful  and on purpose. I feel the dullness that comes from not taking the time to do what makes me happy and have decided to change course. Making my fulfillment my priority!       The following poems are on this theme and I hope you enjoy. I also hope your fulfillment is your priority and that you are certain of its importance and possibility. Go for it!     Busy Too busy for silence for truth for the peace I crave. Catching my breath I feel out of place and restless. Staying busy doing what I no longer love makes me false and leaves me feeling lost. Somewhere in the daylig...

Hi! Thanks for spending a moment and sharing my writing with me. I have been doing a little writing, a little submitting, wanting to do more reading. It had been a very long month for me, and I am glad to see things looking up! I wrote the following poem when I was thinking about the dream I have for my life, how it has changed in recent years, and how far I have to go. I  have to tell myself, look at how far you have come! Let's remember to keep our dream within our vision. Our heart has eyes to see with too,  you know. Toward the sky I turn my life toward seeing sunrise after sunrise dawn upon my dream. I lift my heart, offering up my dream I raise my hands, then lower them quickly. I am empty, waiting to be filled. I send my hope and prayers toward the sky and wait. Setting my heart upon the rising of the sun I wait. Releasing my control, my desire, letting the wind lift it and carry it away, I receive.

HI! Today I will let the words of the poem speak for themselves.  As alwaysthank you for stopping by. I wish you  beautiful moments.. one right after the other. Let the words flow -come as they may- release all that has you bound so you can stand before me unencumbered, ready to fly to unimaginable heights,  to see your dreams come alive Let the words flow, unleash the tide of pushed-back feelings that threaten to drown you. I say let the words flow gently furiously powerfully- until you have nothing left to say. When you have said your peace peace will find you and I will be there celebrating.

Happy Women's Day!! My poem to celebrate! Hope you enjoy! We Are We are the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and wives and lovers within and of the world. We embody divine love; we nurture life, possibility and dreams; we have visions, and, despite how hopeless it sometime seems we carry on. We are your cheerleaders and our own as well; we are creators of our destiny and our power runs deep. When we listen to ourselves others will listen, too. We chant what we are, we sing what we are and dance to what we are- now we are writing what we are onto the page. Our words, too, show who we are.

  Hi! Thank you for stopping by. I am glad you are here and I hope you are having great week. Sometimes we just need a boost, don't we? That is what I have found. That, and the fact that sometimes we have to give our dreams a little boost!        With that in mind, I have written the following poem. See, I have found that my dream means more to me than I can easily put into words. There was a time when I thought "My dream isn't coming true," and "I have to let it go. It wasn't meant to be." Those thoughts made me feel like part of me was dying inside. I had to turn my thinking around, choose to believe that what I want to happen will, and give life to my dream in the form of love. So, that is what I have been doing. Nurturing my dream, holding it as close as my heartbeat. If you have a dream that isn't realized yet, infuse it with fresh, new energy. Don't let it go. Not just yet.   Sunrise ove...

     Hi! Thank you for being here today. I am posting some poems I composed recently, and I hope you like them. They were written and inspired by the ocean.  The themes I seem to keep coming back to lately are peace, openness and love.      I hope you are encouraged and feel that inner unity we have with all things. Oneness with nature seems to bring me back to myself, to love, to peace. That's where my inspiration is!!      I hope you enjoy the poems. Shimmers A gentle whisper shimmers into my soul from across the water. I glide into acceptance, let assurance take root within me. Now I feel secure, at rest, and sturdy like the palm digging deep into the sand. Tide of Gratitude I wonder if the ocean swells with gratitude like it feels my heart is doing now; in and out with gratitude for all things big and small. I watch the tide come in with eagerness, releasing its offerings, then rushin...

Hello! I have a poem today that exemplifies motivation, self-encouragement, confidence and dreams. I have been thinking a lot lately about  what inspires, what propels us toward our dreams. I hope you enjoy!! You Can You can do this You can! If you listen closely you will hear the voice of possibility singing within the chambers of your heart... It sounds like love. Love is the call to which all hope responds, love is the whispering echo to reach for your dreams. Knowings are deeper than adopted beliefs - perhaps - and they tell you You Can Do This.

Hello! Hope you are having a beautiful day. I am pretending it is spring. Want to join me ?  If you like winter cold and ice, it is okay. I will send it your way!! Ah, today is like no other. We have today, a gift. To enjoy. I intend to enjoy it. Do you? Even with all there is to do, all that needs fixing or whatever, it only takes a moment to reach within and see how beautiful life really is. How wondrous everything really is. So I invite you to take a moment now, today, to step back and see life with new eyes. Not because it is a new year. No. Because you become renewed when you get silent and release distractions, when you let go of keeping the weight of the world on your shoulders and breathe just to get through the things you must do  on your list. When you start to listen to the song of your heart, your spirit. It sings. Even in winter. I promise. Can you hear it? Can your hear your song? I think mine was like a caged bird, getting louder and louder until ...
