Live

Don’t forget what makes you unique. As you’re getting lost along the way remember the people you meet, and cherish the memories you make. Stand out. Stay happy, even when everything is falling apart, smile. Someone is watching, and relies on your strength to find their own. Turn rejection into elevated awareness. Become more than…

Imagine

The times we live in seem so unsure. It's easy to lose hope. I remember growing up in the Reagan era, and the fear that swept the nation over nuclear was minimal but was there none the less. It wasn't even a new fear. It was revisited from the generation before, and the generation before…

On writers block…

Yeah, it’s happened.  I miss my kids. I miss my vision of what I thought everything is and by fault but my own brain I feel alone a lot. It’s not because I’m alone or lonely. It’s the writers block. When I can’t write I feel alone. It’s not Carrie for those wondering. Even though…

Sunflowers

The level of your soul

As much as you hate me You hate yourself more You can tell lies and place blame …but blame from the level of your soul That’s where the truth hides You want the world to shine You want love and happiness You toss people aside like trash …you don’t care from the level of your…
