Lost and found.
Hidden while shown. Aimless with purpose. Calm while anxious. Cerebral and intense. In an unfamiliar land, I don’t hear my home tongue. The sights and sounds overwhelm my senses. Contributing to a simultaneous state of confusion. Alertness. –stop– wandering– where did I go? Confusion endurance. A goal. Mixed media. Art performance. Teach. Math identity. Winter.Continue reading “Lost and found.”
Facing fears.
Facing fears. September 26, 2017 As a writer, one of my biggest fears is rejection. It is human nature to hold in our hearts a longing for acceptance. This inner drive to be seen and heard is in some ways at odds with the nature of publishing. Here, in my free space toContinue reading “Facing fears.”
Letting go to grow.
Letting go to grow. September 21, 2017 I pause in my stream of writing to gaze out the window. The shimmying tree caught my eye, And now I am the watcher of my experience. Being in balance with doing. A single leaf let go from its tether to the branch. Now at restContinue reading “Letting go to grow.”
Perfect amidst imperfection.
Perfect amidst imperfection. Written August 9, 2017 Sometimes the absence of something is the trigger to realize it is essential to our way of life. Writing is like that for me.

Gratitude first.
I have a habit of recounting all the “have nots” and “should haves” and “if onlys.” These leave me in a place of trapped emotion and regret. Instead, I seek to cultivate gratitude. Let’s take an example from writing. As I reflected upon the day I started to tell myself a story – “I didContinue reading “Gratitude first. “
Fullness.
With a greater sense of awareness, I am learning to feel full. Fullness to me means completeness, happiness, and success. Success in this case is not measured by worldly accomplishments, gold stars, or publications, but rather by doing what I love. Doing what I love has taken great time, attention, and awareness to cultivate. It takes dedication,Continue reading “Fullness.”
Share your passion.
If you know me, or have met me, you likely know that I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I’ve recently been told that my 4 year old son does the same, for which I am proud. Being in tune to your emotions and feelings should be celebrated regardless of age, gender, status, etc. ThisContinue reading “Share your passion.”
