What NOT to expect when you’re expecting
Don’t expect me to be perfect. Don’t expect me to always be wise. Don’t expect no tears…they come with the territory…that is me. Don’t expect perfection I’m just a girl, who likes to write my feelings into the air. Take it or leave it. Don’t expect polish from a heart that is raw. Don’t expect … Continue reading What NOT to expect when you’re expecting
Inspired by the Comforter
I refuse to walk into the night cold. I will find a blanket. If my heart is stone, I will find softener. Life is too short for callousness. There is no option but love. I may not know who I am, fully, but I know who I will not be! I will fight with you, … Continue reading Inspired by the Comforter
Hope
If we don’t protect it, hope can feel like a balloon, filled to maximum capacity for a moment then let go to float into the air, sputtering, and flying unhindered. Hope is so much more precious than this. I wish it were easy to tie the knot and seal it in all cozy and safe … Continue reading Hope

Fully Convinced in Spite of all My Questions
What is a mind not wavering? What is strength? What is faith? Can I walk in it? Who holds the key? Is the door really locked? Am I on the outside looking in? Are you inside waiting? Are you cheering me on? Are my hands strong? Will I use them wisely? Why am I asking … Continue reading Fully Convinced in Spite of all My Questions

Every breath, a choice Every moment, an opportunity for a voice Yet, I am so often silent. This is humanity... … Continue reading One foot…keep walking
