Someone Else’s Alarm
Is it strange that I can tellWhich dreams are bornFrom my own thoughts,And which don’t belong to me At all. Only alarms echoing from Someone else inside my sleep. I feel myself finally letting go, Yet the ghosts of my past Still visit me at night.And somehow,I know when a dream is no longer mine,But…

Anything In Life That Brings Me Nerves is Bound to Change My Life
I finally found good use of the art that collects dust in my home. Most of my canvases bury old paintings. When I feel like it’s time for a refresh, I simply paint over what was there before. Thanks to today’s society, I can capture my art. ( even though it will never capture it’s…

Where Winter Softens
Sometimes nature on its own does it for me, I ask myself why I’m so drawn to painting landscapes, It speaks before I even pick up a brush, and a scene like this answers for me softly, effortlessly. Winter isn’t a season I chase; if anything, it arrives uninvited.But somehow its beauty finds me anyway.…

Roots, Not Layers: Choosing Growth Over Old Patterns
I need to start being active in undoing, and peeling back my bad habits. It’s one thing to talk about it, but more importantly it’s about taking action to prevent those habits. Emphasis on the word prevent. We are like plants, not onions. When you nurture and take care of a plant, it grows and…

Her Name Was Autumn
Fall is a reminder,A reminder that the waitwas never empty.She was just catching her breath. Her beauty is so hard to ignore,It forces you to slow down and pause.She even teases the busiest hearts,Reminding us of the beauty in stillness.

Stone to the world, Soft to the wound
I stand here, stone to the world, soft to the wound. They must believe I cannot feel, but every blow strikes deeper still. I hate how much my heart can hold, emotions leaving me bleeding where no one can see. I always imagined hell as nothing, a silent place of endless feeling: no one to…

Undoing My Self-Sabotage
Not too long ago, I realized something important. The biggest roadblocks in my life weren’t other people, the economy, or lack of opportunities. It was me. My own patterns were quietly holding me back. I often second guessed and overwhelmed myself with negative thoughts that it enabled me to delay too much. These habits kept…

I didn’t
There’s a difference between me and you.You lost feelings before I walked away, I didn’t. They say a woman’s intuition never lies,It didn’t.You didn’t put up a fight, Our journey folded with an okay. I had to hurt to see hurt, But Instead all I saw was relief.A part of me wanted to be wrong.…

Balancing Emotions: Not Just the Lows, But the Highs too
This has been a recurring theme in my life lately. Many of us struggle to find the middle ground with our emotions. We experience life only through the extreme highs and lows. It is difficult for us to find that soft and steady place in the middle of our emotions. Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NIV)“When times are…

Sleep Reset Challenge: Realistic Ways to Improve Rest
Struggling to sleep is very common, because at night there is a lot more distractions. Unlike the mornings, when we’re forced to get up on time. Bedtime requires discipline. At night we have to convince and challenge ourselves to go to bed at a reasonable time. We have to convince ourselves to shut down. Scrolling,…
