A New Journey

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

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

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.

\ Hi! Welcome back! Here are some new poems. I hope you enjoy them. Most of my writing this summer has been put toward  either a new chapbook or full-length poetry book that I am working on. I am amazed it is already August. How about you? Decisions Look carefully, slowly within for the answer you seek is already there the path is already paved You are not alone in your quest and inspiration will find you when you rest when you allow yourself to just be Place your faith in your inner wisdom and your choices will be clear your decisions will bring you peace Adventure What does the soul crave adventure or purpose - maybe knowledge, perhaps? For the seeking of things draws them near, with the hum of  their fulfillment becoming more dear and it leads me to wonder why do I feel like something is missing if I am not sure of what to do next if my plan of action isn't detailed enough Perhaps I would do well to stop embrace the m...

Hi! Welcome, and thanks for being here. I hope your summer is going well. Busy or relaxed, the longer daylight hours can offer us moments to reflect upon things and admire nature. That is what I love about summer- the color, nature in full bloom, early sunrise with my coffee. Nature can be so inspiring! For today's poetry I will share my recent personal photos taken while on vacation. I love to be surrounded by nature! In Quiet Moments Breathe slowly take in all the colors let the wind caress your shoulders and fill you with a knowing This wind and sky are gently surrounding you holding you providing you with all you think you need So when you stop to look around and gratitude flows from some deep place it is in that moment that you are shown the truth of your beauty and sacredness it is those quiet moments that change how you see yourself and the world

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...

Moving Forward Hello!Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I am headed toward a life change, professionally speaking. And it has me thinking. Specifically, about how much time I spend thinking about things that are to come. Things that I want to happen, things I hope don't happen. You get the idea. I also think about the past way too much, so how much time does that leave for right now, the present? Not enough. So, for me, a new focus has emerged. To be more mindful of the moment. There is so much to appreciate. There really is no reason to stress so much. Breathe. I feel much better already. Hope you enjoy the below poem! The Gift Right before my eyes I see you me everything I see love and dreams I see tears and moonlight  dancing But most of all I see the gift of time and space and the words that exist between them

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. Welcome! Today's poem is about our inner light, that spark within us which we so often forget to acknowledge or access, but which is in truth our very Self. INNER LIGHT  Your inner light Calls you awake, then Gently leads you home. Your inner light Dreams with you And greets the sun Through your eyes; Your inner light Goes before you To create the beauty that you see. Shine, nurture, Love that inner light And your world Will never be the same.

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...

Hi! For today I have a brief poem. Are you ready for adventure?   Adventure   Take the adventure that faith provides- life wants to share moments of joy with you, wants to show you the beauty that is around you. That is You. Embracing beauty, embracing yourself, is part of the adventure. It will take you to the far reaches of eternity, where love dwells. Are you up for an epic trip? Just open your heart and fly.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Here are a few of my newest poems. Enjoy! Just Be Be in the space of allowing let abundance dance in the light of your happiness Breathe in the air of peace as it washes over you This is the moment to own your gift to celebrate all that you are because love is and always will be for you part of you Always Wake Up Wake up and don't give away your dreams to the night Infuse them instead with love let the light dawn upon them so they may bloom at first light; though winds may blow they are no match against the power of your heart beating for a dream

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. I am so thankful that you decided to spend a few minutes here. Welcome!     I hope you like my newest poems. They come from a time of quiet reflection, of going still and opening myself up to how much I have to be grateful for. They also came from really embracing who I feel that I am- that we all are. Here is one poem, with more to come soon! Recognition   I am surrounded in the dark by a shining light, I am pulled into a pool of warmth and bathed in shimmering peace. This moment feels frozen - full - and I am empty. Even in this space love grows - especially in this place - I sense a truth settling over me; I am part of all that I see and it is part of me. Eternity exists within us all, and those with eyes to see see only Love. Thank you again for sharing in my heart's calling. Stay in Love!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I hope your year is getting off to a great start! I have stocked up on books for reading through this cold spell and have been inspired. Inspired to embrace the moment more, to live in awe and appreciation. I hope you enjoy the poem. Stay inspired, and listen to what the moment has to say. MOMENTS Far away  tucked in my memory is an idea, a dream, a knowing, that all of life's treasures are held in this moment- and I am here to savor them all.

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!

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.

Hi! Thank you for stopping by! I have a poem today on the theme of self love, or to be more specific, loving our body. Honoring the body. Cherishing the body. All important aspects of living a life of gratitude, peace and understanding. Personally, my journey with this issue has been difficult at times. It is still a work-in-progress, but recently has become a focus of mine in a stronger and more meaningful way. I guess you could say that self-love, body-love, is one of my life lessons. I am now taking more concentrated effort to be loving to my body and actually express gratitude and awe for the wonder that it is! Our bodies are truly magical and divine! Here is my poem. I hope you enjoy. I hope you take a moment to consider that your body is perfect, beautiful. amazing. It too is sacred. It is part of you, part of your journey here. We honor the spiritual, the nonphysical, all the time. I suddenly realized how the physical, the earthly and ma...

Hi! Thank you for stopping by. Wishing everyone well! I have been feeling inspired by recent books I have read and talks I have listened to lately, and I wrote this poem today as a result. I hope you enjoy it! There is so much joy, goodness and beauty all around us - all we have to do is slow down. Look, listen and love. Now is When Now is when you embrace your dream, when you release all false barricades and stumbling blocks. Now is when you choose to stand for what you want and know is yours. Now is when you see the world for the magic that is IS, see yourself for the magic that is YOU. Wonder and awe wash over you now in this moment that is the only moment. Rest. This moment is perfect. Breathe. In the silence and space between silences all your power, beauty and love burst forth and shine like the sun.                    ...

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! 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.
