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

Feeling energized? Getting Inspired and going for it!

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...

Placing Yourself : A Poem about Place

Image
Hi! Thank you for stopping by. This most recent poem I have is inspired by many things... songs on the radio that I have heard recently, favorite quotes that keep reappearing on social media, and even books that I am reading again. The current theme of not feeling like you belong, and then finding that place, is what my poem is about. Actually, it is about awakening to the fact that where you are at the moment is perfect, for you, for the present. The present contains all that you need. The future, whatever you wish it to be, is waiting. You will get there. Just remember that  now holds the beauty, the promise, the love, that you dreamed of yesterday! Finding Your Place Seeking, looking turning around with the goal of resting once you find your place did you really have to go anywhere at all This restless energy can be stilled by a breath a whisper hushed upon the dream of your heart in the quiet moment you see your place the plac...

Love Love takes you around inside and outside - boundaries are broken lifted high, flowing in the wind memories of love's enduring presence shine like a star upon the ground that love travels It is with you that I want to dance upon love's stage Do you hear it -Love - calling you over and over your whole name is a whisper upon the sand your essence a reflection upon still water.

Seeking Wisely: A poem about looking within

Image
The gift is within. The answer is within. These words we have heard before, but what do they mean? To me, they mean that for every obstacle we face, every storm that comes our way, during every trial, there is something within us that we can access that will see us through. This something is always present, deep within us, and it means we are never alone. I have had to access this part of myself more often than I would like, as have we all. As part of our journey, it is part of our story. And so it is. In thinking on this, I was inspired to write a poem. I hope you enjoy!! To Seek They say to seek, so I sought. They say to be open, so I opened my heart. Then one day I stopped. There was no joy to be found even after all my searching and doing. I felt through all that was surrounding me, releasing more as time went on. I moved again and had to stop. Forced to remove a stumbling block, I surprised myself  at how easy it ...

The Gift Within Silence: Meditation, Poetry, Enlightenment

Image
Hi! Welcome!      I have been thinking recently about the quiet moments, the ones we seem to have to make a conscious effort to enjoy; those moments of reflection and introspection that offer us respite, insight and renewal. I want to make time for more of that in my life. Do you? It is almost as if I am craving the peace and guidance that comes in those moments when I sit in silence and allow myself to just BE. I can release my sense of urgency concerning issues in my life that are coming up. I can relax.      Spending time acknowledging blessings, envisioning the future, releasing and letting go of negative energy, all happen within, in the sacred space that waits for us to be present with it. Such gifts come to us when we do! Today's poem is a reflection upon that realization.      Does it feel as though you have been drawn to allowing, or experiencing, more quiet moments in your life? Perhaps ...

Spark of Love; Tending to the Muse

Image
Hi! Thanks for being here with me. How is your Spring going? I have been thinking about growth, life changes, the power we have within ourselves to be our own source of inspiration and strength. We are more amazing than we give ourselves credit for! I have a feeling you are a muse to someone, to many perhaps, so this one is for you. Blessings! Spark of Love The spark of love is alive, in you, ready to bloom and bursting with color. Grow! Bloom! Establish roots and surpass the past. Shine the in a million ways! Life is color, life is a song; all it takes is a muse to light the fuse, for you to have what you need when you are ready to show yourself the way. Go forth and find your muse! Let vibrant petals fall where they may as you stand in the sun and walk toward your destiny, you beautiful, incredible, spark of love! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing in my poetry. It means so very much to me!
