  • To yourself be true

    I sit here this morning, staring at a blank page and feeling empty. I am not empty. When I knelt to pray, I asked for those that have wronged me to be lifted up, those who have used me to be blessed, and those who don’t consider me at all to find peace. Is praying… Read more

  • “Please forgive me…” The plea comes in the dark stillness of the night. My world spinning, my mind drunk on rum and love. For months I’ve been praying and pondering forgiveness. I’m still trying to figure out how to walk the path. I don’t think I know how to give it…or sadly how to actually… Read more

  • Together alone…

    I show up to a smile and a hug. You’re on your phone, very likely the reason you didn’t answer when I told you I would call you back in two minutes. The bartender asks if I want a drink, I refuse twice. You put your hand over your phone so whoever you’re talking to… Read more

  • When I say that I love you I mean just that. It is YOU that I love. Not a part of you, not just the laughs and smiles, not just the good time. I love you. I will love you through all the bad decisions, through all the tears and uncertainty. I will feel great… Read more

  • The 3% people

    I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective and time recently. About the people in my life and how much of my time and energy I surrender to them. How do I spend that time, thinking of others, is it in pain or in praise. I’ve come to think that 3% of the day means an… Read more

  • The somber heavy

    I woke up today with a heavy heart and a heavy soul. I’m not entirely sure what I’m thinking or feeling or what my subconscious has been processing. I don’t remember dreaming although it feels like there is a fading whisper of something. I know that I have been disappointing myself a lot lately and… Read more

  • In my eyes

    I know you will never be able to see yourself as I see you, oh how I wish you would try. Please carry these 5 things with you each day and know they are the core of everything you are to me. >valuable >accepted >enough >worthy >loved Know that to me, you would fill an… Read more

  • Every moment is yours

    I hope you see this isn’t a command. I am not telling you what to do, I am expressing my hopes, my dreams and my wishes for you. Be honest with yourself first. Recognize that you get to choose and the moments you live in are chosen by you and your past choices. Please, as… Read more

  • You’re worth it

    I love you, unconditionally. I don’t want that to cause pain or suffering or make you scared or turn your back on me or think it means I expect anything from you. I accept you, all of you, the parts I know and the parts I don’t and may never get to know. I accept… Read more

  • The Uncertain today

    I awake this morning, less confident than I wish I would be. The feeling of security has nearly abandoned me. I kneel down and give thanks to God. For this day, for the light, for the breath in my lungs. For the chance to witness all He has done. For the opportunity to suffer and… Read more
