SAVING HER
On my vision board is a photo of a little girl, innocent and happy. She hasn’t been molested or shattered by abuse. I often gaze at her and think, how can I save her. Medication was not the answer, it only gave me the unwanted gift of a hand tremor making it difficult to do…

In my waiting of wanting more…God speaks
Lately on my current job, I’ve been more bored than anything else. Struggling to be apart of a team and a mission that seems to not need and value me. Many mornings I dread the monotonous motions of getting out of bed to clock in. The income is needed and appreciated, but the work is…

Powering back up
Some of us feel and experience things deeply, we’re in tune to ourselves, the feelings and energies of others. People like to refer to us as dramatic, emotional or extra.

The Awakening
Captivated I sat staring into the washing machine as the clothes spin. The timer reads 25 minutes to clean, this process of spinning and cleansing reminds me of my mind and life going through cycles. The clothes were exposed to dirt, yet still serve a purpose to cover, be seen and worn by me. My…

Positive Self talk
In my season of singleness…. I’m the love of my life. Dating and pleasing myself. I’m the BFF. Supporting and encouraging myself. I’m my biggest cheerleader through the failures and the wins. Until these roles are filled. I am the perfect stand in. Someday love will find me, a real, true, lasting and honest love.…

SWINGING with my moods
laughter, something so simple and free, yet most times it’s seems expensive and elusive for me. A deep sadness lingers beneath the giggles. I’m living a double life with a diagnosis of bipolar, going from one extreme to another. Trying desperately to find and maintain a balance without traditionally over medicating my mind. My circumstances…

HOLDING ON TO HOPE
These days I can see the beauty in everything. In the eyes and smiles of random people I see. The sun shining brightly to the background of a cloudy blue sky. The laughter, joy and smile of my toddler son. The way he sucks his bottom lip just before falling asleep, in the way we…
