Allow Life To Be Allow life to be full, rewarding, and adventurous. Allow life to be chaotic, yet safe, boring yet fun, systematic yet creative. Allow life to be nurturing, natural, and tree-hugger green. Allow life to be free and freeing. Just allow life to be.

Honoring My Inner Child
Me at 5 after my second open heart surgery… Today, I nurture my inner child by honoring her need to feel safe. I assure her we are safe, protected, loved, and cherished. Our intuition and observant nature promote mindfulness and peace. We have learned to remain calm amid chaos. We take our time and pace … Continue reading Honoring My Inner Child
The part of my body I have found most challenging to love and accept.
Ai Generated Unfortunately, my lower abdomen is the part of my body I have found challenging to love and accept. Before two C-Sections, two hysterectomies, and a maximum weight of 240 pounds, I had cardboard flat abs, 36/24/36, were my measurements. If you view me from the front, the hourglass is still there. Howbeit, with … Continue reading The part of my body I have found most challenging to love and accept.
From Pepsi to Kombucha
For 24 years, Pepsi was the go-to drink, a constant companion through thick and thin.

Midday Fire!
Gunfire in the middle of the day, Bullets riddle walls and fly through breezeways, No concern for innocent people being sprayed, Unmistakable ignorance and self-hate, We need to lobby Congress against the NRA Handguns and automatic rifles firing four-hundred to a thousand feet away, Decent safe and sanitary?

We Pray to Thee
On bended knee we pray to thee, Arms stretched wide we pray to thee, With silent reverence we pray to thee, With cheers of victory we pray to thee, But when do we hear from thee? Speak thou now unto me!
Every

I Want PEACE!
Pacing to and fro, peeking through the window, Disco music on the radio, I turn down the audio, I hear gunfire in the distance. Bullets piercing walls, crawling through halls, I call the police, but no help for me. Resisting the urge to scream, I devise a scheme. High beams illuminating asphalt, rock-roads, and cornfields. … Continue reading I Want PEACE!
