I am sending you hope
And love and light and goodness
Wrap your arms around your
Beautiful wholeness
And embrace the gift that you are
You might not be feeling
Like yourself right now
But there’s a tincture of light
Behind those dark clouds
Turn your face towards the sun
And let it fill you with peace

I’ve anchored myself
In your love
Pulled you into the depth
Of my arms
Kissed you slowly
As if time was mine to
Command
I’ve painted your soul
Upon my skin
So the world could see
This ebullient love
I called mine

Make it count, whatever you do.
Do it with a willing heart; we are here for a brief moment, each second is priceless. Choose wisely the things that matters, the things that are good and precious. Hold life a little closer, love a little harder, be passionate about what moves you, listen with your heart….and most importantly, stand up for what you believe in.

If you are feeling worn out and tired. If your heart is tied up in knots and there are darks clouds gathering in your soul.
Give yourself permission to let go. You are worthy, you are able, you are enough.
This season of hardship and chaos will pass, and you will once again feel peace in your soul.
Give yourself grace today!
For some, today represent the best and worse day of the year. While some gathers and share in the joy of family, others are torn by the lost of a child or a mother. Today, may our hearts be tender to those that are hurt and broken. For those that have no idea what it’s like to have the love of a mother. For mother’s that lost their child, whether it’s to the system or death, we speak their names in love and hope, for a mother’s heart is a loop of unending emotions and they find the strength to be brave even when they are breaking.

I’ve loved you
Ever since the Apple Trees
Blossomed
And the smell filled me
Up
With a deep longing
To hold You
To kiss every line
on your ambrosial
Face
There’s no more
Space
In me
I’m no longer my own
Self
Love buried in a field of
Apples
Your eyes
Supine
Begging the heavens
To let this moment
last
Forever

She’s no longer the girl
Who sits by
And let the world
Define who she should be
She has fire in her blood
And poetry on her tongue
She stands alone
And bared her scars
Showing the world
That there’s beauty
In her sacrifice
And she’s no longer
Afraid

In a world
Without a fighting chance…
