A New Journey

Hello!      Glad you stopped by. Today's poem is about wishes and dreams. I have been thinking a lot about personal dreams, life dreams, wishes of our heart. I have even been reading my inspirational books again. I love to read those over and over. Staying inspired is so important! Have you realized a dream recently? Are you working toward a dream? I hope you are surrounded by inspiration. I hope your  inner-fire is well-lit.      Sometimes in the pursuit of a dream things in life change more than we think they will, more than we think possible when we first start on the journey. Thinking about that, and the nature of dreams and wishes, prompted the poem below.      Wishes and Dreams My wishes are luring me enticing me my dreams shine like stars twinkling in the galaxy of my soul's expanse. I wonder what fuels my dreams, turns wishes into reality- is it love that spurs the ris...

Hello! Today   I have a poem for you. Thank you for visiting with me today! I am posting only one poem for today but really hope you like it. It is one of those poems that speak of  the experience of your inner self, of looking within. This topic has been a personal one as of late, and seems to inspire a poetic feeling within me. It is similar to when I would read a nonfiction book that gave me bursts of insight and awareness. So, for all those aha moments, here goes! Somewhere Somewhere inside of me lies the truth; joy and wisdom reside in harmony waiting my permission before they go, before they burst forth from within and radiate outward to greet a life on purpose; Somewhere inside of me lies wonders untold; dreams and emotions dwell side by side leading me forward even as past memories linger like the wind that gently carries a boat across the water; Somewhere inside of me is Me. Thanks again for sharing in my poe...

Greetings!      I have been embracing the beginning of summer and am amazed at how fast time is going. It will be the Fourth of July soon! Who has plans made already? Not me.      I stepped back from my WIP  earlier but now I am back into it. I am feeling inspired to write poetry again. That feels wonderful!      Plans for the rest of the summer includes writing, promoting, planning ahead. Maybe visit the pool a few times. I have been walking on a regular schedule, which feels good. I need to get back into my yoga.      What refreshes you and keeps you motivated? I have had such kind words and actions expressed on my behalf that it makes me burst with gratitude. I appreciate such encouragement and support. Wouldn't the world be so much better if we just helped each other rather than ignored each  other, competed with each other, kept ourselves so busy we can't think straight? But...

      Ah, home. Nothing like it. Especially when you first get back from a vacation. Getting back from vacation, I immediately noticed how much can change in 8 days. Flowers and weeds exploded. Strawberries ripened. Peaches on our tree grew ! Such a fun thing to watch. I anticipate summer all year and relish the sight of things growing. Speaking of that, my cat was happy to see me then treated me with a little spell of feigned ambivalence. What? Was she used to being without me that quick? Or was she mad at me for leaving? Miss Independent. She thinks I can't feel her purr when she sits on my feet at night on top of the covers. Ha. Jokes on her. I know!      Anyway, I am back and have to make progress with my writing and some needed home repairs. I need to set some goals for the next few months and figure out the direction I want to go with regards to my writing. I thought I might write some poetry while on vacation and even t...

    Poetry, beautiful poetry! I have been enjoying reading and writing poetry for a long time now. I  did not keep my first collection of poetry, unfortunately. I wish I had them just to read over, so I could get a feel for what I was feeling at the time. For me, poetry is about feeling the energy of the moment. Being present.      I like the honesty of bold poetry, the realness it holds. It captures you and resonates with you in its simplicity. Then again, the meaning of each poem can be, and rightly so, interpreted differently be each individual that reads it. I like that personalization, too.      I am still looking for a home for my second book of poetry, Echoes of Moonlight. I am hopeful. I am determined. My dream is alive, however stressed and tested!      I have some new poetry for you today. I hope you enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing my writing! Garden It was in the garden ...

Hello!     I have been writing poetry again  and will probably be shopping for another journal. I like to write my poetry by hand and then type it later, putting it where it needs to go.     I have been thinking about wisdom lately, and how I named my cat Sophia Dawn, for the dawn of wisdom. What does wisdom mean to me? It means listening to your  highest self, your spiritual true self. It means choosing life-affirming thoughts and actions. It means choosing love.      I never thought of myself as one who makes rash moves, one who leaps without thinking. But since last year I have taken such unlike-me actions that it makes me wonder, did I make a wise choice? Was I acting from a place of being guided by wisdom? I guess you might say I reflect on things a bit! Lol.          Anyway, nearly two years ago I brought home my new kitten. I knew just what t...

     Hello! How are things going this spring so far for you? Can you believe it is April? How much spring cleaning is planned or done? I need to get started! I also need to keep track of my writing projects. I am submitting my poetry book and have spent time on http://www.Allpoetry.com    and I have been slowly  adding poems  to a growing collection for another book. I do not have a title for this book of poems.  The one I am sending out is titled Echoes of Moonlight.  I hope to have a home for it soon!      Until then, may I share my first poetry book with you? It is titled Sing to me of words , and it is not only my first book of poetry, it is my first book. I self-published it while still working full-time. It is a book of devotional-style poems. Uplifting and soul-searching.  if you like spiritual poetry, then try my poems! I am to inspire with my words. Check out a gift from my  heart...
