Bringing Inside Thoughts Out

  • Mother’s Day 2021

    It’s a long one…. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who in any way has been a Mother. Special love going out to the Mothers who have lost children or are trying desperately to become a Mother. I’m sending you tons of love and support, compassion and prayer, as I know this day isn’t always a… Read more

  • The Journey of Curly Hair Acceptance and A Love Letter to Stylists Everywhere

    My hair is like my personality; it’s wild, stubborn, has its own way of expressing emotion and attitude. It’s curly and goes every which way, no matter what I do, no matter what I say. It fights against the orderly and sane, springing forth from my head like a snakes on a M-F**’ing plane, gone… Read more

  • Tell Me A Story

    I love a good story. Tell me yours? Read more

  • Being a good listener – the sad, the bad and the rad

    Growing up, my dad and I used to go to Jumbo’s Coffee Shop in Food Circus for coffee and long conversation on a regular basis. During the course of these long talks, he repeatedly impressed upon me the importance of being a good listener. He advised his best tips to be a good listener beginning… Read more

  • The Truth Shall Set You Free and the Light Will Show the Way

    I talked with a dear friend the other day who I had been avoiding for (what I consider to be) a long time. She had done nothing wrong, said nothing bad, did nothing to offend; in fact, quite the opposite. This dear soul heard the breaking in my voice, saw the emotion in my eyes… Read more

  • Fate’s Saving Grace

    I wrote this a long, long time ago and have been fortunate enough to have been blessed with these types of loving souls (angels on earth, light workers, good and true friends and family of blood and of choice) throughout my lifetime. It’s to you all I dedicate this poem and all the emotion within.… Read more

  • Best of Intentions During the Worst of Times

    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it… Read more

  • The Spirit of High School and the Exorcism of Such

    I went to traditional public high school for about a year and a half; of that year and a half, I attended classes maybe close to a full year. It doesn’t sound like that much time now, but that was a very crucial time, developmentally speaking. It was the basis for how I *thought* the… Read more

  • Homecoming Memorial Day

    Today we memorialize (remember) those who gave their lives in service to our country. Veterans Day is a different day, celebrating all veterans, living and deceased. Memorial Day focuses on those “made the ultimate sacrifice” by giving their lives in the course of their service. This post is dedicated to the men and women who… Read more

  • For Bella (Little Shadow)

    This post is dedicated to all the little shadows we’ve been fortunate enough to love, for however long. Saying good-bye is never easy so let’s just say “see you soon” and know your heart is just as full as it was before they had to leave. My heart goes out to my friend who this poem is… Read more
