I lost it
Time
So much of it
Withered
Wasted
Away
Bitter emotions
Victim of circumstances
Distorted memories
Deception
Lies
Of those things
Once believed
To be true
Broken record
Skipping
Then going on
Repeat
Time
Precious time
Oh, how I wish
I could get back
Try again
Redo
Be a better person
Get out of my head
In my own way
I was
Confronted with
My greatest
Obstacle
Me
Myself
I
Ego
Pride
Folding back
Peeling away
Layer by layer
I’ve come to know
My Father
He guides
Working on
Discovering
Hard work
Heart work
Rewarding
Revealing
Reset
A reason
To begin anew
I am through
With
The old version
Of myself
Those days
Have
Done
Said
Wore me out
My heart
Cannot handle
The weight
Mental capacity
Burdensome
Fatigue
God
He comforts
Holds me close
Tenderly
Renewed
Mind, body, and spirit
Loving thoughts
Kindness
Overwhelming abundance
Gratitude
Seeing
Through the lens of God
Living life
With trust
By faith
Loving others
More deeply than
The ocean
Many times more
Than
The grains of sand
And
The infinite distance
Of
Far away galaxies
Forgive me
For
What I didn’t know
Back then
A time
When I was
So immature
I didn’t know
Who I was
Back then
But
I sure know more
Of
Who I am
Today
More wisdom
Much wiser
For it is you
Who
Brought me here
To stay
A little while
To practice
To learn
Feel
The burn
The sting
The pain
To change me
To grow me
Bring forth awareness
See life through
A new lens
Many hardships
Heartaches and heartbreaks
Dark valleys
Strong storms
Through them all
You helped me
To understand
Yes
You did teach
Your grace
Your mercy
Your unconditional love
Your compassion
I get it
I do
This time
I do believe
These lessons
Will stick
Thank you
For your teachings
Thank you
For your patience
Thank you
For reminding me
The importance of
Unconditional love
Forgiveness
And
Freedom of flight
As I release the past
Into
The palm of
Your hands

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!
