I am profoundly in love with life again and I suppose I have no one to blame but myself. I’m not sure I ever could have said that before – personal limitations, not circumstance. Drawn in, I feel connected. Rooted, I reach to otherS, continually scanning and comminicating need. Diamond Miner They call us diamondContinue reading “Poetry Series – Diamond Miner”

Poetry Pairings – Skin…
Call this a turning point. I don’t know what awaits but I sense the profound change ahead, around every bend. I’m ready to be me. (Again.) And I don’t care if it makes it harder for you to be “you”, or for them to be “them”. If you’re unwaving in your* truth.. you won’t careContinue reading “Poetry Pairings – Skin…”
Poetry Pairings – Two-Line
This is a lesson in consistency above perfection. In authentic vulnerability. This is where we learn that if you don’t feel like yourself without it.. stop taking stupid excuses and calling it quits. My laptop unusable, fans in a funk, posts begin to slip as my desires require a smidge more effort. Shifting attention awayContinue reading “Poetry Pairings – Two-Line”

Do you ever feel like your sexuality doesn’t fit your body? Like it’s not yours to carry around, show off, do something with? I’m learning to love my love and love my sexuality too.

I think about cases of multiple personalities and I’m no doctor, IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Audience”
Poetry Series – Change the World
I spent a lot of my life trying to make myself smaller and smaller, taking up less and less space. Ironically, I was always a pretty heavy girl as if my body was trying to send the message that my attempts to shrink my presence for other people would forever prove futile so I mightContinue reading “Poetry Series – Change the World”
Poetry Series – Money
I wonder if some topics are as difficult for everyone as they are for me? Maybe it’s one of those things that if you’ve had enough exposure to something, you become desensitized to it. Maybe the problem is that I haven’t seen enough money – I never grew up that kind of rich. Money MoneyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Money”
Poetry Series – Safe Adults
When we ask another person to keep quiet about what we’ve done, we’re asking them to carry the burden and weight of actions that we know were wrong. Often if we’ve put people in situations where they feel unsafe, once the truth finally comes out the sense of unease, and lack of safety will shiftContinue reading “Poetry Series – Safe Adults”
Poetry Series – Facing Want
Do you ever notice the subtle way our wants are filtered through our beliefs first? Have you ever caught yourself wanting something only to immediately find lists of reasons that you just can’t have whatever it is? Why do we so often believe ourselves undeserving of what would make us the happiest, most fulfilled? IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Facing Want”
