I
Once knew
A girl
She
Had stars
In
Her eyes
Puppy dog face
And
A sideways
Smile
Dimples
She wanted
Them
God didn’t
Create her
To look
That way
She
Kept to herself
Was quiet
Didn’t
Stir the pot
Got along
Did her best
With everyone
Shy
Beyond measure
Until one day
She
Met someone
Got to know
Him
He
Changed
Her world
Her vision
Her sight
Reflection
Of Him
She
Come to see
In herself
With patience
With love
By
His grace
He
Was all
She needed
He
Was her
One
True love
A love
Much greater
Unconditional
Her Father’s
Loving embrace

Hello and welcome,
I am so glad we have crossed paths!
It’s no accident you are here!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read.
As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world.
For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself.
I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets.
Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose.
I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
