I wander through the hallways Straightening pictures that I took Smiling at the memories And every place we stood I’ll leave them hanging As I pack every single box There on the same wall With the same ticking clock I will leave the story written For others to erase Because I don’t have the heart…
Written by Edward Hotspur and Hastywords It pains me to see that look Unfolding behind your eyes Desire for someone else Fueling a passion full of lies It hurts for me to see you stare And smile so blissfully At someone across the room When you’re sitting next to me It’s not just your choice…
My #BeReal guest today is H.K. Abell. Another male perspective on what it is to be real. H.K. has been a major supporter of my creative endeavors. He is a very prolific writer and I would encourage you to check out his many books. Thank you H.K. Abell for being real with me even when…
Today I am on the Feminine Collective. Being a mom is tough. I knew it would be. The moment my daughter began to kick at my insides I began worrying about my ability to protect her.

My #BeReal guest today is Briton Underwood. I have a deep like and respect for my guest today. I’ve watched as his writing found its groove growing edgier and more powerful. His writing is good. Really, really good. But it’s how he defends his friends, lifts them up, and helps them succeed I love the most.…
My #BeReal guest today is Gretchen Kellaway. It doesn’t really happen that often. At least not to me. I read a piece written by a stranger and feel it was MEANT for me at exactly the right time. Gretchen wrote this when she submitted the piece: “Here is The Dance! I believe it may have always belonged…
My #BeReal guest today is Melissa Senecal. From one short person to another… Thank you for being real with us today Melissa! I have my reasons to #BeReal in my life. First of all I’m short (barely 5′ tall). I have taken lots of good-natured ribbing from people my whole life. Yes, I’ve heard all…
