Spit Fire Woman
To the world, that's all she was.
Spit fire...
That's all she was...
She was spit fire.
She had been through hell...
And had hurt like hell.
But she persisted anyway.
She fell, fast and hard and in every way.
But she picked herself up and dusted herself off.
Every. Time.
And it didn't matter how many times she fell.
Every time she learned a new lesson.
Life was the teacher and she the pupil.
The most important lesson of all: how to stay her spit fire self without wavering.
The point is: she learned to love hard without taking shit from anybody.
To speak her mind and stay true to her thoughts.
Spit fire woman.

The Princess Who Saved Herself
She was a human being born with an extraordinary gift that she didn't know how to use. The King and Queen seemed to be the only people who understood how to tame it, so for her own safety, locked her in a tower, from a young age. From the minute she was born, no one seemed to understand her potential for destruction but her parents. She was born with a deep magic that could divide and conquer kingdoms, at her command.

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
