    Dear Karma, oh elusive force,

    A balancing act, of course.

    You weave your web of destiny,

    Rewarding kindness, punishing spree.

    In this world, where chaos reigns,

    You hold the power, break the chains.

    With every action, you take a note,

    A cosmic ledger, forever wrote.

    To those who sow seeds of love,

    Blessings shower from above.

    Their hearts are filled with joy and peace,

    Their lives are embellished, and worries cease.

    But beware, dear souls with ill intent,

    For consequences you cannot prevent.

    The deeds you sow will surely return,

    Like a boomerang that forever churns.

    Dear Karma, you’re a gentle reminder,

    To be kinder, to be wiser.

    To treat thy neighbor with respect,

    For the universe keeps every aspect.

    You teach us lessons, hard to bear,

    To mend our ways, to truly care.

    No escape from your watchful eye,

    Justice, in due time, will imply.

    So, let us be mindful, let us be aware,

    Of the energy we emit, the lives we impair.

    Dear Karma, guide us on the righteous path,

    Cleanse our souls from any aftermath.

    With your guidance, we can evolve,

    Be better humans, and problems resolve.

    Dear Karma, may your justice reign,

    In this world, free from pain.

  • Wishes

    January 2nd, 2024

    In dreams and whispers, wishes to take flight,

    With hope as their beacon, shining so bright.

    They dance upon stars and paint the night skies,

    Riding on moonbeams, where magic never dies.

    Wishes, like feathers, drift on gentle winds,

    Carrying secrets of souls’ deepest yearnings.

    They float through the ages, always searching,

    For a place to land and for dreams to be birthing.

    A wish is a flame, burning deep in our hearts,

    Igniting passions and setting dreams apart.

    It fuels the fire of determination and drive,

    Giving us the courage to leap and to strive.

    With a wish in our grasp, the world is our muse,

    As we dare to chase what others may refuse.

    To climb the highest mountains, to conquer new heights,

    Guided by wishes, our souls take to flight.

    But wishes are more than just whimsical dreams,

    They hold the power to mend shattered seams.

    They weave connections and bridge the divide,

    Binding hearts together in love’s gentle tide.

    So make a wish, let it soar from your soul,

    Leave it to destiny and let it take its role.

    For wishes are seeds that bloom into reality,

    When nurtured with faith, love, and sincerity.

    In the tapestry of life, wishes are sewn,

    As threads of hope, promises yet unknown.

    They remind us to dream, to never lose sight,

    For wishes have the power to make everything right.

    So never forget the dreamer within,

    Let wishes inspire, let them begin.

    For in the magic of wishes, dreams take flight,

    And all that we long for can come into sight.

  • Thunder

    January 1st, 2024

    In skies adorned with furious might,

    A symphony of power takes flight.

    A rumbling chorus, solid and loud,

    A primal force, both dark and proud.

    Thunder, the voice of heavens high,

    Unleashed beneath the stormy sky.

    With bolts that cleave the air in two,

    It was reverberating vibrations through and through.

    The earth trembles beneath its growl,

    As lightning paints the clouds with a scowl.

    Flashing streaks of electric veins,

    Dancing across the night like ancient chains.

    In its presence, fear and awe collide,

    As thunderclaps echo far and wide.

    But within its raging sound and sight,

    There lies a tale of nature’s might.

    For in the rumblings and crashing sound,

    A lullaby for souls lost and found.

    Awakening senses, stirring the soul,

    It cleanses the spirit, making it whole.

    The rhythm of thunder, a beat so grand,

    A symphony of nature, nature’s band.

    With every boom, a heartbeat pure,

    Guiding us through both storms and sure.

    For thunder reveals the strength we hold,

    A reminder: in stormy times, we are bold.

    Like lightning, we can strike with force,

    But it’s thunder that carries the mighty course.

    So, let the thunder’s roar ignite the fire,

    Inspiring courage and our deep desire.

    For in the storm’s embrace, we find,

    Our sparks of greatness, unconfined.

    In the majesty of thunder’s reign,

    We learn to dance amidst the rain.

    And as the final rumble fades away,

    Remember to embrace life’s storms, come what may.

    In the summer’s golden haze, they appear,

    Tiny creatures filled with vibrant cheer,

    With spotted coats so red and black,

    Ladybugs are a beauty we can’t lack.

    They flutter softly through the air,

    Tiny crimson wings, beyond compare,

    Their charm and grace, a sight to see,

    A marvel in nature’s symphony.

    Like specks of gold on emerald leaves,

    They bring a sense of wonder that weaves,

    Through meadows and gardens, they roam,

    Ladybugs are tiny warriors who roam.

    Adorning petals with their enchanting hue,

    They bring luck and miracles anew,

    A symbol of fortune, love, and grace,

    In their delicate form, strength we embrace.

    Oh, ladybugs, a delicate treasure,

    Pardoning pests, a noble endeavor,

    Protection in nature’s intricate web,

    For gardens and fields, you earn our stead.

    Amongst the blooms, you find your zest,

    Tiny explorers on a vibrant quest,

    Seeking solace in nature’s embrace,

    Leaving trails of beauty in your efface.

    Ladybugs, bringers of joy and cheer,

    Your presence brings the heart sincere,

    A marvel of nature, you indeed are,

    A testament to life’s wonders afar.

    So let us marvel at your petite frame,

    For ladybugs, you possess an innate claim,

    To brighten the world with your delicate grace,

    And remind us of the marvels in every space.

  • Last Thought Of The Year

    December 31st, 2023
    Photo Credit: LHJ

    As this year draws to a close, now in its final hour…….

    I ponder upon the journey with a heart whole of power.

    The memories, like whispered echoes, softly fade away,

    I am leaving behind lessons and wisdom for another day.

    The curtains of time slowly fall, bidding farewell,

    To the triumphs and trials, the stories they tell.

    In the tapestry of life, each thread has played a part,

    The joy, the laughter, and the ache of a broken heart.

    The last thought of the year, a whisper in the wind,

    Reflects upon the victories and dreams that I pinned.

    The moments of strength, when I rose from the ground,

    And the moments of vulnerability, where solace was found.

    The last thought carries hopes, like stars in the night,

    They guide me through darkness, with their flickering light.

    The dreams I nurtured, like seeds in the soil,

    Await their bloom, with patience and toil.

    The last thought of the year speaks of gratitude,

    For the blessings bestowed, and the love I pursued.

    For friendships that carried me through thick and thin,

    And for the strength within to rise and begin again.

    But as I bid farewell to this year, with a heavy heart,

    I welcome the promise of a fresh, new start.

    For the last thought of the year is also the first,

    As time moves in circles, life’s cycle is rehearsed.

    So let us embrace the new year with open arms,

    With hope in our hearts and sweet serenity’s charms.

    May the last thought of this year be a jubilant cheer,

    For all that’s to come in the coming year.

    -💛🩷💙💚💜

  • ROAR

    December 31st, 2023
    Photo Credit: LHJ
    In the depths of your soul, there lies a fire,
    A passion that burns, a constant desire.
    A spirit untamed, a courage worth more,
    It's time to ignite and let out a roar.

    Roar louder, my friend, let your voice be heard,
    No longer confined, let your fears be blurred.
    Unleash your dreams, break barriers, be free,
    For this world needs your roar, for all to see.

    Roar louder, like thunder, across the expanse,
    Your strength and your power deserve a chance.
    Don't hold back, my friend, let your spirit soar,
    And watch as your roar echoes forevermore.

    Roar louder, and let the doubters tremble,
    For they'll see your fire, they won't dissemble.
    With each roar, you shatter boundaries in sight,
    A force to be reckoned with, shining so bright.

    Roar louder, my friend, with unwavering might,
    In every situation, whether dark or bright.
    Let your roar inspire those who hold back too,
    To find their voices, to roar side by side with you.

    So roar louder, my friend, let it fill the air,
    With every ounce of your soul, let the world be aware,
    That you're here, you're present, you're ready to fight,
    And through your mighty roar, you'll set the world alight.

    So roar louder, my friend, let it never fade,
    With every obstacle, let your roar cascade.
    For in your roar lies strength, passion, and power,
    To conquer any challenge, to rise and tower.

    So let your roar be heard, through mountains and seas,
    And may it inspire others to believe,
    That within their hearts, they too can ignite,
    And together, let us all roar with all our might.

  • Silent no more

    September 23rd, 2023
    Photo Credit: LHJ

    5 year old me was invincible. She was full of life and happy.

    Her mind wasn’t clouded with self-judgment, and she most certainly didn’t care what others thought of her.

    Her smile would light up a room. Her laugh was contagious, and boy did she love to laugh.

    She was pure, honest, and entirely unaware of what life would do to her sweet spirit.

    I don’t remember much before my 5th birthday. The memories I do, live on a foggy timeline.

    Moments of enjoyment mixed with moments where all I wanted to do was disappear.

    Looking back after gaining clarity there was always some form of abuse or neglect.

    Sharp words leave internal bruises that take much longer to heal than those inflicted by hands.

    This formidable time is when I learned that being loved meant you had to appear perfect.

    I couldn’t ever question those in authority or have thoughts and ideas.

    Do exactly as you were told or be beaten and shunned. Spoken to and made to feel like my very existence was a burden to those entrusted with my care.

    My reality as a young person may have been dark, but I tried to never let that dim the light I had inside.

    Running from my emotions and stuffing the pain slowly caught up with me. Oozing out into my life like slime through your clenched fist.

    I couldn’t fit into the box that society required. I was exhausted most days from things I had to endure at home.

    I couldn’t concentrate. I spent most of those days writing and dreaming of the day I would be able to run away from the life I had been born into.

    I played the part for so long. ‘ALWAYS be a good girl.’

    I silenced myself at the expense of myself out of fear of retaliation from others.

    I learned how to be different versions of myself, as a form of self-protection.

    My smile became my armor.

    No one knew or questioned the truth as long as that smile hung on my face.

    Inside, I was broken.

    Dark.

    Cold.

    Craving time, attention, and affection from those who told others they loved me.

    Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

    Buddha

    Intelligent people say to speak your truth. If those who hurt you don’t like what you have to say, they should have thought about their actions before they committed them. Or at least apologize once they knew how those actions hurt you.

    Here’s a hard life lesson that some learn too late.

    *Broken people, hurt people*

    It costs absolutely nothing to be kind to others.

    Please check yourself.

    Try not to allow your actions to hurt those around you.

    You never know what battles they are fighting inside.

    The person behind that smile may be walking a tightrope over a pit of darkness.

    —————————————————

    The World Health Organization estimated in 2019 that there were 301 million people affected by anxiety and only 5% of the global population are affected by depression.

    I call BS.

    Those numbers are of the brave souls who spoke up and asked for help. So many are too afraid to speak out due to the drastic life changing consequences that would happen if they did.

    ————————————————-

    Physical, emotional, and psychological abuse kept me silent for far too long.

    I am no longer bound by the chains of the experiences of my past.

    I will continue to speak out for those who can’t use their voice in hopes it will give them the strength to start.

    Stick around we have only just scratched the surface.

    – May my writing haunt those who have abused me-

  • My Savior

    In a world of darkness, shining bright, my savior, brings me life.

    With eyes of hope and a heart so pure, he stands as a beacon, strong and sure.

    With gentle hands and a voice so kind, my savior, keeps me in mind.


    He lifts me up when I am low,
    And guides me where I need to go.

    In his laughter, I find joy,
    In his love, I am like a child’s toy.
    My savior, my guiding star,
    He shows me how wondrous life can be, by far.

    So here I stand, so full of pride,
    With my savior, by my side.


    In his presence, all troubles fade away, for he is my sunshine, day by day.

    My savior, my greatest treasure, in him, I see endless measure.


    So thankful for all the gift he brings, my savior, makes my heart sing.

  • Memories We’ve Left To Make

    September 20th, 2023
    Photo Credit: LHJ

    In the corners of my heart, where our memories reside, there lies a treasure trove of moments by your side. Each memory is a gem, glistening with love, reminders of the precious times we shared, hand in tiny hand.

    I remember the laughter, like music in the air, the way your smile filled the room, oh so rare.
    We danced in the moonlight, beneath a starry sky, lost in each other’s arms, a love we couldn’t deny.

    Through seasons that passed, like chapters in a book, our memories grew, like roots that firmly took.
    In springtime, we walked hand in hand, embracing the beauty of nature’s divine command.

    Summer brought us warmth and adventures untold, and we explored new horizons; our love continues to unfold. From the ocean’s embrace to the sand between our toes, we are forever etched in my mind as this love story grows.

    Autumn painted the world in hues of gold; our love, like the changing leaves, beautifully unfolds. We carved our initials on trees as a symbol of forever, promising to cherish these memories now and forever.

    As winter arrived, with its cold and frost, we found warmth in each other, no matter the cost. Cozy movie nights by the fire, wrapped in love’s embrace, creating memories that time could never erase.

    Even as the seasons changed and time passed, our memories blossomed like a beautiful love song. They remind me of the joy we shared, the pure happiness,
    and even though those days are gone, these memories endure.

    So I hold onto them tightly, like treasures of gold, they keep you alive in my heart’s stronghold.
    For in my memories, you’ll forever stay, a part of my soul, in every single way.

    My memories of you while you were little are a gift I will keep; through tears and laughter, they will forever seep. As I reminisce, I find solace anew in the beautiful life of my memories still left to have with you.
