There is still vibrancy to behold
To touch a petal To caress a flower To hold beauty within one’s arms There is still vibrancy to behold There are sumptuous delights Let it grow all around Let it lead to a connection There’s always hope
She stood rooted in her spot day after day
An empty wonderland. Everything was still. Unmoving. Unyielding. Sadness air droplets. Somber. Wishing for more. Wondering how to push things through across the finish line. She stood rooted in her spot day after day wondering the same thoughts. Everything was on repeat. A badly broken jukebox. She wanted […]
Celebrating a birthday during a pandemic
Almost every year, it rains on my birthday. I’m a May baby. Somone who loves spring despite the allergies. Even the rain can’t keep me down. Today is my birthday and besides the rain, there’s a pandemic. I get to wear a mask and stay six feet away […]

Alexa woke up cranky
Emotions have been running high. People are scared, anxious, determined, confused, shocked, depressed, in despair and grieving. Finding a moment of emotional calm can actually be taxing. Many of us have to try really hard to find that quiet mind space. I tried last night by shutting off […]
What won’t change coming forward
Everyone. And, we mean everyone is talking about the new normal. I carefully monitor news conferences and new guidance from state officials. Working in healthcare I carefully monitor health department guidelines. Dr Fauci has noted we won’t really be going back to pre-covid “normal”. We may not shake […]
