My soul mourns
At the sight
At the sound
The woundedness
The pain
Those families
Trying their hardest
Doing their best
With little
To no gain
With the pandemic
Everything
Has changed
Living
Lifestyles
Travel
Plans
Work
Education
Home life
Recreation
Ordinary outings
To the park
Refrain
Health diminished
Quality of life
Spending final moments
Last breaths taken
In hospital beds
Technology connected
FaceTime provided
One last chance
One last opportunity
To see family
In a country
Far
Far
Away
One thing after another
Robs
Steals
Takes away joy
From
Every precious moment
Day by day
Lord I ask you
Lift up your people
Your children need you
Lighten their load
The weight
The burden
They carry
Their hearts
Are good
Beautiful souls
Give way to light
Bring peace
Bring hope
Bring comfort
Bring joy
A reassurance of your promise
Your presence in their life

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!
