A New Journey

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...

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, ...

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...

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.  Hope all is well with you.  Today's poetry is inspired by what might be my next poetry book titled BELOVED.  I have been submitting my works titled JOURNEY OF A DREAM and SHY Of THE FIRE. Wish me luck!! I hope you enjoy the following poetry. THREAD Love runs a thread thru a thousand memories It lights the stars in the sky and Fuels the morning breeze If you listen You can hear it humming Whispering Across the mountains and over the ocean Carrying your dreams Holding your joy Love is the fabric and the thread that covers us Awakening us to the beauty of who we are. l

When someone believes in themselves The whole world conspires To throw galaxies of confetti At their feet. Did you hear that? I just heard a whispering voice say Be careful where you walk... Don't forget to say I love you To others To yourself To your dreams    You know, the ones waiting in your heart    For you to rain blessing and sunshine    Upon them with your words.

Hi! Just poetry today. Hope all is well with you! I also hope you enjoy the poems below. Thank you for sharing in my work. It means so much! Love  I am all the love within the stars And you are the galaxy That holds  My light Light  You Shine your love upon me And I reflect your light To you  This is how  We light the sky. Moonlight  Softly carried on the water by Moonlight scented wind The image of your face Stays with me Resides in my heart Always

Hi! Welcome! It's been a while since my last post. I hope all is well with you and that good things come with the better spring weather very soon. I have been hit with one theme over and over again lately, and that is the importance of living from an authentic place.  Being yourself in your day to day life. It seems hard to do for some reason in our culture. Why do we have to fight to just be ourselves? It is so tiring. Is it any wonder, we might have  hard time knowing others if we don't or won't  take time to know ourselves and to be that? Thinking about that led me to write some new poetry. I hope you enjoy! Me I am here dreaming working living trying to find my joy; Somewhere all that I love is waiting for me to embrace it claim it and my talents are bursting to be set free. I am so ready to just be me! Better World So if everyone expressed their gifts allowed their heart to shine sang their own unique song then We would...

Hi! Today I have been feeling nostalgic. And wanting to plan for the future. I know that I need to be in the present. Have you ever been pulled into too many directions? Here is a poem about that.  The Moon and my Dreams So long has the moon Rose and set upon my dreams And memories How can the glow contain them all Time moves within my heart An orbit of love binding past And future. Lessons of soul Greet me there And here In the moment A place so full of love And light That I can't help But shine. Thanks for enjoying my poetry with me.  It means so much to me! And here's to dreams coming true!

Hi! Welcome. Thanks for stopping by. I hope this month is off to a good start for you... summer is around the corner! I love seeing my irises begin to bloom! Thinking about summer makes me happy. Warm nights, early mornings, days of blue skies... my favorite. Here is a poem about nature, peace, inner awareness. Hope you enjoy! Listen Listen to the sounds of nature- high shrieks and croaks, whistles and whirs- somehow it sounds familiar; life humming thriving - earth in all her majesty like me in all my mystery bursts forth with life creativity abundance beauty and joy. I am reminded of the truth, which is all that I see is a reflection of me and I want to weep at the knowledge my heart holds dear.

New Year, New Dreams Happy New Year!! Welcome 2018! On the beginning of this new year  I am looking forward to many good things happening and I feel grateful for all that last year brought me. I even bought a planner for the year and am so excited to use it! Here is my poem about new beginnings.   New Beginnings Starting out with visions dreams and unfulfilled longings the heart steps forward in faith with hope and love besides; what lies ahead stirs the soul to greater heights than a whispered verse in the dark. Take the dawn of new beginnings into your heart's chamber nurture the moment's potential with tenderness and gratitude for all things begin as a thought that has been loved into reality. Happy New Year; may this be a year full of many great things for you!

Hi! Thank you for stopping by. Today I have a poem about love. To me, knowing that you ARE Love and being able to express that love is key. I hope you enjoy the poem! 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. Listen and you will hear eternity singing for you within you to you with Love.

Thank you for joining me today. I am going to let my poem speak for itself  today, but I want to wish everyone all the best. I appreciate you!! Knowing Seeking something unknown - yet familiar - you exist In the silence your longing resonates with the voice inside your heart and suddenly the winds of wisdom wash over you and you know you know who you are at last At that moment purpose and peace shall find you having never left you at all.

Grateful Heart is the title of my poem for today. I have been really focusing on my blessings, what I have to be thankful for... which is everything I have in my life! I have so much, the time to write, health, family, home. This life on this earth!! All that makes my soul happy I have right now. I have made a conscious effort to bring more of what makes me happy into my life, and to be an appreciator. Even the hard things are in some way giving me something that I need or can learn from. So, here's to pausing and reflecting on all that we have! Grateful Heart Gratefulness invades my soul like a waterfall bursting out into the open spilling everywhere spreading joy everywhere; the sounds of life, reverberating harmony in sweet time-space motion and I get to embrace it all! Things like love and sunsets hugs and soft furry kittens mingle with the happiness of a certain voice then I see that I need nothing else at all. Grateful...

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 ...

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 ...

HI! Today I have  poem about the inner light we have within, the love we are and the love that we share and impact the world with. Being true to ourselves,  living from that truth, has become so important to me. I believe in our power to make a difference, to do something big. Do you? I hope you enjoy the poem today and welcome any feedback! Have a great day! Bringing Sunshine You are a light, a source of life, more resplendent than you know. You radiate timeless wisdom and create miracles you know not of. In your wake lie wonder, healing and peace. You bring sunshine to the world! This is something I don't want you to forget in the dark of night - that you are spreading rays of hope and inspiration upon all. The warmth of the dreams you cause to be fulfilled is felt as sunlight flowing through the atmosphere, as the love you bring flows, flows, flows, spilling into the shadows and into the light.

Hi! Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to reflect, to be inspired. Today's poem comes from being inspired myself after reading a good book. Isn't it great when that happens? I love to read books that inspire me. Do you? Here is my poem. I hope you enjoy. The Stirring Awaken to the stirring of joy within you- let the truth of your beauty be your guide, your clue; your happiness lies not in what you do but in finding your passion and to it being true. You are more than what you see, you can create your world the way you want it to be. Infinite is the love within you, immeasurable the power behind you. Rest with these bits of wisdom, let them carry you into the light of your full expression, and awaken to the stirring of joy within you.

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!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I have been very inspired by spring colors this week. With so much bad weather happening all over the place, I sought out photos and flowers to give me that much needed burst of color. That got me thinking about the act of providing ourselves with color. With joy. Our lives are colorful, beautiful expressions of love; we say we "brighten someone's day" or that someone has a "vibrant personality". What word speaks to you? sparkle? shine? vibrant?colorful? bold? Let that be your word, your inspiring platform, your self-descriptive tune. I say, it is time to be all of the above! Here is a little poem on the topic of Spring and renewal. Enjoy! What lies within What lies within lies dormant only for a time then bursts through the earth shooting upwards heavenward releasing potential even dreams ; beauty and power lie within dormant waiting for the sun of our allowance to shine upon the...
