Teach you
GROWN WOMAN! Teach you, how to love you, so when REAL love comes along you’re healed enough to enjoy it! I don’t think you notice HOW much more you need to be healed until you lose someone you thought you’d spend forever with.. whew…But when you do decide to change, heal, grow..do it for YOU. Do it for Future you. Present you. You that deserves to be loved.

The Loudest
I never wanted to be the LOUDEST in the room. I barely wanted to be seen. All I ever wanted to do was be heard. After years of being unnoticeably, a fixture in the background, finding my true voice and learning how to use it feels somewhat euphoric.

US
I could tell you a million things about them and I could talk about them for hours. They are the music to match my day and the light that guides it. When my mind races to the brinks of dark places, either of their voices brings me back to the world. I am connected to them via our souls and linked to them by much more than blood. Because I carried them and pushed them out into this sometimes hostile world, my only thoughts are of their safety constantly.

Who was that man??
It started with a dream… As weird as this may sound, this dream made me feel different and made me want to know more. It was as if my “soul” left me and went to live this whole other life. A life that was very different from my own. I need answers to why now and for what reason I was allowed toventure there. Up and above my usual reality and all I could think of afterwards was why couldn’t I stay.

Sad and somber
I can remember the first day it happened. It was the lingering feeling of clouds over your head but they never went away. It was the bitter loneliness and awkwardness of simply being alone. I was too young to feel this type of dramatic emotion, at least that is what I told myself. See at age 12, I use to have seizures and wake up somewhere entirely different than where I was sleeping. Everyday started being constant reminders of impending doom or this could literally be my last day seeing my children. These feelings escalated QUICKLY after someone I held dear to my heart suddenly died at age 15. Once again this proved to me that death, that sneaky son of a bitch was always looming in the shadows.

Just Love
They say you get 3 great loves in your life: 1) your first love 2) the love of your life 3) the unexpected love. How you meet these GREAT loves is the amazing thing because you never know when you will. Another thing, will you ever find them AT ALL! I get so excited with the thoughts of love and finding it, especially real love. Love is the one thing I truly believe we need in life and not from a partner, but from your kids, your family and friends. Smiles and laughs shared with the people you love is the best medicine for any bad thing you experience. I want to share my meetings of love with you, sit back and enjoy the show.
