something’s new
inside of me
waiting to get out
yet releasing
wherever I go
breaking ground
for what lies ahead
in worship
in business
in dance
in family
it’s definitely
different
and definitely
good
family
Delivering Thoughts
The majority of the time, I’m aware of how I’ll start my writing, but this time, I’m just writing, so we’ll see how it goes. Continue reading
“Unmarked Territory”
I don’t know how many “lasts”
there are
will this be the “last”
super bowl with my kids
will it be the “last”
Valentine’s Day
will every special day
till May
be a “last”
things I don’t want to think about
but will
because it’s important
to treat every day as a “last”
and make the most of it
last
The Right Protocol
From before I’d left for Texas, I’d wanted to go see Lee and let him know what I was up to but didn’t make the time to tell him, and since I’ve been back, I’ve wanted to give my all to the kids, so yesterday was the day I finally surprised Lee with more than just a visit. Continue reading
“Flight 1439”
through the air
to a destination
through the heart
into restoration
through the mind
with plans galore
through the soul
forever more
waiting to move
moving to join
joining to live
happily ever after

Alternate Endings
December fourth, two thousand and sixteen…a day I’ll never forget.
It was a Friday, and I’d woken up from a bad dream. If I remember correctly, I woke up crying, and it turned out to be one of the most depressing mornings I’d had, and to top it all off, I felt a cold coming on.
You see, during that time, everything was so unsure: the business, my income, our groceries, etc., and the next day, I was scheduled to have a booth at the Rock and had some mixed emotions about THAT. Anyway, it was a tough morning, but I made it through by writing.
If you visit my website, you’ll find a calendar with daily writings. I believe the fourth was some of my darkest thoughts, but by the afternoon, I felt much better, and then, Katie came in.
She said, “Mom, I have something to tell you. I’m pregnant.” Continue reading
“Cinderella”
every child is a glass slipper
but not every woman
wants to wear it
if only they knew
the joy of it fitting
the music of life
played to the beat of a heart
the rhythm of a giggle
the sound of a sneeze
the movement of breath
the chords of sleeping
all recorded
within the heart
of the woman wearing
the glass slipper
“For Them to See”
it’s sometimes hard
to read other’s pain
of losing a loved one
at Christmas time
I have moments
of maybe I shouldn’t have joy
like maybe I should
withhold my memories
but life isn’t comparison
of what I have and you don’t
or what you have and I don’t
life is about living and loving well
to be love for those around you
strengthening their being
to change the world
around them
for wherever they step
to remember the times
of laughter
of love
of moments
no one can take
what’s inside
no one can shape
what’s been formed
to love my kids every moment
and be love that they can see
makes a difference
that changes the world
