You dance to your favorite songs at the end of your morning routine.
The angels whispered you awake at 5 am and you promised yourself & God to make the most of this day and appreciate it no matter what comes your way.
Focus up love- you got this.

Almost doesn’t count
I almost filed down my fangs for you
I think this as I wipe the blood from my mouth and kiss your forehead
Feeling like Janie must have felt after she shot Teacake
Now your eyes are closed
And my eyes are watching God – praying I will be granted forgiveness for literally eating this man
I almost filed down my fangs for you
But when has almost ever counted?

The stories they told
Time- the only true truth teller it seemed…
She let time tell the story.
Time was her teacher and she listened with appreciation.
Quotes, links, and things that have soothed my soul this week:
“Work on how you respond when you feel disrespected.” -Nipsey Hussle
Time really does heal all wounds- but we must allow it.

User not Lost
She fell backwards into anonymity
Unreachable (to some)
Unidentifiable (mask on)
Slightly traceable ( she never hid)
Who she is doesn’t matter
Who she isn’t doesn’t matter either
She was sent here for a purpose
The drama and the bullshit – not it
God whispered instructions into her right ear
Clear and realigned it was time
Angels surrounded her -even on the dark days
Especially on dark days
She said thank you one more time
And fell backwards into anonymity
Stay Well Butterflies

Small moments of wonder soothe the pain of our collective reality
Art in all its forms – my salves
For a moment i am a butterfly flying beyond it all
For a moment
But back to my cocoon i must go because it is almost 11pm
Aglow with Knowing
Whom the phuck shall you fear- aren’t you the light?
I remind myself of who’s I am as I step into the night aglow
I get to know my darkness so it won’t consume me
I get to know my darkness so it can’t entomb me
There is power and strength in knowing and loving all sides of yourselves
Sharing the light of God with my demons we are reminded of our true essence
Now we work together in the dark of night for the light
Whom the phuck shall you fear- aren’t you the light?
your·selves | \ yər-ˈselvz , Southern also -ˈsevz \
Definition of yourselves
1: those identical ones that are you —used reflexively
Get yourselves a treat, for emphasis, or in absolute constructions
2: your normal, healthy, or sane condition or selves
you will feel more like yourselves after a good rest
Worry Not Today
She transmuted her worry into hope because she knew damn well she didn’t have the full scope.

Thanks BANKS
she thanked God for all of it…
i make long lists of all the things i’m grateful for
i live quietly and love my small circle of loved ones ferociously
i thank God for all of it
wearing my father’s old military jacket
Adorned with my mother’s old pin,
her mother’s old pin,
And a pin of my own that maybe my daughter will wear on her father’s old jacket one day i smile wide as this beautiful man snaps my picture just before the concert begins
she thanked God for all of it…
Helm of the heart
Slightly overwhelmed she let her heart take the helm
No more resisting all the unknowing
Falling softly into another realm
Heart at the helm
Falling slowly into the realization that this too shall past
Clarity flows through her
A cleansing wave of reality
Resilience sparkles on her skin
Heart at the helm
Releasing overwhelm
As heavenly help arrives
The heart knows who to call
Heart at the helm
No more overwhelm

”Just drop us a pin.”
they pulled up in the dead of night with love and empathy for everyone
night work
light work
God sent
hell-bent on making you remember that you are heaven-sent
built for more you are
one of God’s brilliant stars
cosmically created
you are enough
they pulled up in the dead of night with love and empathy for every one
Silence & Chatter
heart silence is louder then mind chatter
balance found between sight and sound
between light and profound
between words of wisdom and works of wisdom
heart silences the chattering mouth of mind
now body sleeps
as spirit creeps
into every
auricle and ventricle
cell and seam
free wheeling healing and making space for clarity’s gifts
heart silence is louder then mind chatter
Rooting for revival
She sat silently resting in the forest of her heart.
We can remain stuck in fear & holding on to the past, or we can use our past experiences to move confidently into the future. – Tanaaz
These words echoed throughout the canyons of her mind as strong winds of change began to blow in and around her.
Two cardinals flew by with a message.
When the roots are deep, there is no need to fear the wind. – Unknown
She stood faithfully and fearlessly in the forest of her own heart as her body began moving forward in time with the divine.
And so it is.
