Life
The older I get
The more
It seems to make sense
And
Then it doesn’t
My mind at peace
When
Being outdoors
Going for a hike
Gardening
Taking a shower
(to name a few things)
Ideas
Conversations
Wisdom
Rolls through my head
With grace
With fluency
Wisdom
How can that be?
Everything
Seems to make perfect sense
The bigger picture
Spiritual growth
The past
Maturing
Looking back
Where I came from
The person
I used to be
The vision
Has changed
New eyes
I do see
The hearts
Of many people
Many offenses
Trespasses
Pain
I endured
Suffered
Yes
I did
A victim
Held captive
By the workings
Of
My mind
Prisoner
To my past
Imprinted upon
By
Thoughts
Words
Actions
Things people said
Things they had done
My deepest
My most inner voice
It had become
Influenced by
So many things
Genetics
Generational trauma
Upbringing
Educational experiences
Adult life
Change
Transformation
Understanding of oneself
Confusion
Just when you think
You have
Overcome
Advanced to the next level
A new layer
Of awareness
Of healing
Begins once again
Like an iceberg
There is so much more
Below the surface
Questions
Doubt
Second guessing
Ruminating about
Believing
What I’m thinking
Having
A gut feeling
Something good
Inside of me
Another voice
It speaks
Determined
To change my mind
Cause chaos
Confusions
About many things
I am getting there
Really
I am
A process
Of knowing
Learning about
How one was raised
Mindset
Mentality
Beliefs
Some of us
We missed out
On
Pieces of our childhood
From birth-teenage years
Which poured into
Adulthood
I’ve learned
How true it is
When they say
You can’t give away
What you don’t have
Love
We all need
LOVE
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
I cannot express
The importance of this
Enough
To seen
To be heard
To be validated
Loved the way
YOU
Need to be loved
Love changes
EVERYTHING
LOVE HEALS
LOVE RESTORES
Old wounds and pain
Are released
Battle scars
They fade away
You are who you are
You are unique
You are authentic
God’s spirit is in you
There is hope
You will make it through

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!
