Untitled – March 12, 1993
A long time ago something drew me to you I’m not quite sure what it was but I knew it was there I had fallen for you then you fell for me I thought it woud last but it ended abruptly now it has started again I hope that it never ends something about you…
What Was Once Lost……
In a recent deep clean of our basement, I stumbled across a bin that had not seen the light of day in years. One of the items I uncovered was a duotang of old poetry I had written in the early 90’s. Reading some of these poems has been nostalgic to say the least. To…
Reclaiming Me
I recall meeting with friends for brunch last year. It was so lovely to catch up in person after the COVID hiatus. Following flowing conversation, laughter and full bellies, we posed for a photo. This photo post brunch was reminiscent of our last brunch outing (many moons earlier). Later that day, back at home, I…
Speak Up
Looking back there are times in my life where I wish I had spoken up. Times where, perhaps if I had, things would have ended differently. Fear, embarrassment, and the unknown kept me silenced. Acknowledging now, all the times I wish I had said something. Only now, feeling the voice within to empower me. Now,…
Tree of Life
There are times we yearn to forget, and times we must learn from, and on occasion they are inextricably intertwined. I have faced a gut wrenching reality, one that shook me to my core. Mustering up the courage to pick myself up off the proverbial floor, I found dignity and strength in my roots and…

For anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one, they know this all too well, your grief for that special someone never ever goes away. I can still recall so clearly the day my family received the call that my Grandma had passed. I was 15. My Mom came into my room early…
Feel the Music
From a young age music has always been an outlet, a source of expression but above all else a way to escape. As a child my parents played their music on records and 8-tracks. We had this amazing stereo system that played 8-tracks, records and the radio all built in as one unit. It was…
Compromise
A long time ago, a wise woman once told me “never, ever compromise yourself”. The context within which it was given to me was, at least I thought it was at the time, meant to imply don’t compromise yourself for a relationship. When this special woman told me these words, I had just gone through…
Silver Linings
I have to admit, I am one of those people that tries to find the good in every situation. A positive spin to a not so bright day, or a shiny new outlook on a downtrodden path, you name it, my middle name should have been Hope. So many times this past year and a…
