time to reflect
be of service
take gentle care of self
think of others
go within
breathe
pause
pray
breathe again
open eyes, ears
connect with heart
listen
walk
repeat
even in the darkest hours, the light is still flickering within

Quote shared: Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars.to change the world. — Harriett Tubman
I’m full of dreams, passions, compassion and art. Self-love, I’m only beginning to understand how necessary it is to fully love self in order to bring those dreams to fruition. As Harriett Tubman so beautifully states, Every dream begins with a dreamer.

Inspiration comes in many forms. Writing can be spurred by a simple word, a melody, the light, sound, or dream.
Dreams, like thick clouds, roll in and what emerges is only really to known to the unconscious. Continue reading
a time for personal reflection, when the morning light is dim, crickets are all I hear, until the wind begins, once the sunlight appears, colours come to life again….
it’ s October, and I’m wearing sandals and short sleeves…
Where’s the wind…
the door’s wide open and there’s no breeze
Where’s the wind….
the trees are asking and so are the leaves…
Where’s the wind…
she asks to lull me to sleep on a warm October’s eve
Silencio…listen…
… crickets and the rumbling of the dishwasher must do

Don’t worry about …
the hand me downs worn until too tight
or the education they never believed you deserved
Don’t worry about …
the acknowledgement of any of your achievements you never received
or the way you were told to stay in your room until a month had passed
you’re free now — you’re the only one holding yourself back
You are free now …
to do as you please
to live your dream
to fly above the clouds
to shine your light so bright
to believe in the person you are and always were meant to be
trust God who knows all and remember to quit holding on so tightly.

September moon shone brightly upon the lawn
tiptoeing outside in the evening dew
one ginormous Moon flower blossom beams bright white as it greets the night for a one night show
oh what a beautiful sight…
…soft, luxurious, delicate, velvety blossom – divided by soft lines of gold nectar to reveal a starfish hidden within
its debut – always unknown – like a babe born into this world
yet, the Moon flower’s purpose is to razzle dazzle like a magician – and put on a show – and a show it did put on – shining brightly through the night
thank you Moon Flower – until we meet again – good night!
