Creative Energy is Currency

Writing saved me in my childhood and continues to save me but more than that, it propels me forward into beautiful spaces, wonder-filled places and uncovers a gratitude that brings life to the simple joys in each day. The propulsion that creative energies offer are the prescription for healing, resilience and forward movement. Let us  shine the light withn ourselve that is brighter from the legacy of those who have gone before us. ♡

Roots are the growth that conducts the harvest

Studying family history is a wonder filled adventure. It allows us to take a look back at the trials, beauty, pathways, connections, intertwining that were traversed in order to make our existence a reality. Along the journey, we uncover all kinds of surprises, sad truths, beautiful relationships, complicated stories, family quarrels, resilience, road blocks, adventures, hardships, brushes with death, close calls, controversy, love, loss, heartache, failures, victories, and so much more. 

Some say, why take an interest?  That is all in the past. My response is that knowing what transpired along the path to my arrival helps me understand the puzzle pieces, the players , and their journey is filled with lessons that give purpose to my existence. If x, y or z did not happen, I would not have the privilege to be here and experience this life as I am. It gifts me with gratitude,  inspiration, resourcefulness, resilience  purpose. Similar to looking back at our own stories to discover the lessons within them, it harkens a part of ourselves that overcomes but sometimes lies dormant when the book is closed. If we open the book and rediscover the stories of our own or our family resilience, we remind ourselves of our strength, our ability to navigate challenging waters and remember that we always have the tools to build the ship we need to traverse the roughest waters and simultaneously soak in the beauty as we travel.

Let It Rise

When the day to day

Goes up in smoke

Don't freeze and don't choke.

Let it rise,
Dry your eyes,
Wait for . . .

The clearest blue,

The clearest sign,

No devil in the details,

No mixed emotions.

Gratitude for the reveal!

Gratitude for the shake up!

Then, write the first line

In the new chapter of your life.

Time Tables

Time tables make minds stable

Or break them wide open

Break down the way forward

Elevate the truths inside

Deconstruct the journey

Fight against the memories

Seduce the joy, invite the wonder

Beckon the strength

Block the midnight call to arms as

Day slips in to halt the breakdown

That darkness bred the night before

Don't be drawn into the race

As sand pours through the hourglass

As the deadline approaches

Keep your mind from breaking

While you cast your gaze to the horizon

Dawn smooths out the wrinkles of time

And we wake before the breakdown

And, we break the day wide open!
