When my last day turns into my last hour, what will remain of me? When my last hour turns into my last breath, will there be anything left? What will I have made of all these years? What story will be told in those mourning tears? As the sun sets in my spirit and noContinue reading “When Night Comes”

Finding Gratitude Through Everyday Beauty
Gratitude is a powerful tool. And although many people are championing it in certain spaces, I believe itis still strongly undervalued. To get the biggest bang for your buck in “gratitude”, it is required to be integrated into your life beyond the shallow concept of being grateful and to an intentional practice of gratitude.

On Writing “Chasing Sunrise”
‘Chasing Sunrise’ came quite naturally for me. I get up early and I get out early. With that said, I am often catching a sunrise. The first one I tried to catch on camera was in Myrtle Beach. With a new Fujifilm camera in hand and such a beautiful backdrop, I had to try. So,Continue reading “On Writing “Chasing Sunrise””

It was simple, but it opened up something for me.Continue reading “Why I Write”

Echoes in Darkness
I was so close now, to coming into the light. For a while I was running, tirelessly, like all my demons were chasing me. I dared not stop, not until I realized these were only the echoes of my own footsteps in the dark. Funny what things can become when cloaked in shadow. I amContinue reading “Echoes in Darkness”
Daughters of Eve
Each daughter of Eve has taken on her own journey. Each finding her own vision of womanhood. Each blessed and cursed by what she found. As they grew, they came to realize a hard truth. There was an equal darkness for all the light they held within them. They learned in order to receive loveContinue reading “Daughters of Eve”
