Have you ever considered how much power our words hold? For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been told that there is power in speaking things into existence. In recent years, those words have never held a truer and yet personal meaning.

Call me crazy for wanting to go after the things I don’t have. For thinking that any of those things could be mine. For pursuing those things so relentlessly that they do become mine, eventually. Continue Reading
My body is only for living & loving, a daily reminder to myself,
as often as I recite it, you’d think I’d be sure of that one thing if nothing else. Continue Reading
Someone once told her,
“If you want better, go get better.”
She didn’t always understand what that meant because getting better is subjective.
What if getting better meant leaving one bad man, for a lesser bad man to one.
& to another,
What if getting better meant leaving poverty with sane mind, to enter the glitz and glam of insanity.
I once met a man I knew I wanted to love.
He was charismatic, but kind,
Hard, but damn fine
He knew his way in the kitchen to that I could attest,
making it hard for me to compare his capabilities to the rest.
He was the kind of man who warmed me up when I was cold,
simple things that gave way to getting to the depths of my soul.
So it stands to reason that this man was someone I’d always knew I wanted to know.
Because as a child, I had pictured,
A man that was charismatic and just as kind,
who brought more to the table than just a few smooth lines.
He’d be a listener who’d catch every word I’d say,
letting me run my mouth to no end, but right there he would stay.
Not to be confused, I would be his support system just as much as he’d be mine.
With an unshakeable foundation,
prepared to stand the test of time.
That’s what I’d always wanted for myself,
this I could never deny.
And to think I met him, then later questioned why.
Here’s the thing about meeting the man I knew I wanted to love.
I never said finding then keeping him,
wouldn’t be a challenge all on its own.
