This picture frame with the Serenity Prayer hangs in the kitchen at our house. It's always been here. It was my grandmother's home, but she passed away in 2015, and now my mom owns it. I have no idea where Grandma got the frame from. Ha, as far as I was concerned, it was … Continue reading At A Crossroads

Creative Being
We won't worry and we won't fret, shall obstacles come our way, For we are born creative beings, and we will be okay. -Sonja Jackson, OpenHeartTin ------------------------------------ A snippet from my post yesterday that I turned into a little affirmation/poem.

Let Life Flow
The other day was a little rough. I'm okay now. Cried. Wrote. Talked a little to the family. Went to the park. Hanging with my aunt now. I go into situations with such high expectations and hopes and when they don't go the way I planned, I have a breakdown. I'm a child in a … Continue reading Let Life Flow
He Has A Girlfriend
When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into its dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment, or awakening to our true nature, to our fundamental goodness.

One & Free
You're in your cage and I'm in mine, neither of us are free, "You come to my cage!" , "No, you come to mine!" No one will step out, you see. We want to be One and we want to be free, we force each other to leave --- the comfort we know, the place … Continue reading One & Free
How To Have Faith In Yourself

Soul Connection
I don't need you to prove to me or anyone that you love me. I just know. Just like you don't need me to prove to you or anyone that I love you. You just know. -Sonja Jackson, OpenHeartTin
The Cranberries – Daffodil Lament
Bless you Dolores and your family ❤ This is my favorite song from one of my favorite albums. Perfect album when you're going through a breakup. I always admired her writing and voice. My mom used to play the tape in the car non-stop when I was younger. https://youtu.be/nsb7UFoHAt4
I Called My Ex
Fourteen days into 2018 and I have already been slapped with a life lesson. One that I've learned, but apparently haven't applied all the way yet: "You don't have to be perfect to be loved." I called my ex. Yes, I did. I said I was going to and I did. 2018 is the year … Continue reading I Called My Ex
I Never Wanted To Get Married
I never wanted to get married. Even as a little girl. I never dreamed of my dream wedding or my wedding dress or the tropical get-away honeymoon. I never dreamed of any of it. But I felt like I was supposed to. I always felt like less of a woman because of it (which writing … Continue reading I Never Wanted To Get Married
