YOUR REBEL HEART

Six months ago, on our way to dinner, I had a conversation with my 10 year old daughter.  I wanted to watch a movie and hang out with her for our girls night but she had her heart set on asking a friend over.  I said “Oh ok” and she immediately changed her mind and…

THE FUTURE

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. ~ Gilda…

LET ME TUG AT YOUR HEART

Sometimes we need help; things happen beyond our control and we have no choice but to ask for help to get back on our feet.  These are the times I am thankful for the network of friends I have and their generous hearts. I don’t typically ask for donations or for charitable contributions because 1)…

THE ESCAPIST

 Check out this wonderful new duet partner!   WRITTEN BY HARSH AND HASTYWORDS     I lived inside fuzzy dreams Behind old shredded drapes Held captive by irrationality And broken by all my regrets Darkness surrounded me, And pain shattered my soul, Yet, I stood there, powerless. Hoping that someday, I’ll be happy. But someday…

BECAUSE GIRLS ARE COOL – KIMBERLY

Take a peek at this cool girls blog:  words4jp. I feel like we are kindred spirits in many ways but mostly because, like me, she puts her emotions into poetry.  I am lucky to be one of her fans.  If you like cute pet pictures she has those too!  🙂          …
