If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.
– Coco Chanel
#ThoughtfulThusday: Wings
If Only
I’ve heard the heart never stops dreaming
Even when the mind is still
The setting sun looms large on a cool spring evening
A cup of coffee warms the quietness that surrounds the soul
#MondayThoughts: One Up
“Even if no one believes in you, as long as you believe in you, you will always be one up.”
The dream, the goal, the vision is set in your heart and mind. It something that you want, that you desire to achieve. You and you alone know the depth of the sincerity in your heart about reaching your goal. Sometimes your efforts cannot be physically seen and it may cause others to see you as lackadaisical, lethargic or not really wanting it as much as you say…to them I say “fuck you,” you don’t know my heart.
When you believe in something so much that at times your soul hurts because you can envision it as clear as day, you know it’s bound to come life. You will hear from the naysayers, the doubt spreaders, those that think you’re in over your head. Don’t let them get you down or pull your dreams out from under you.
If you know your heart, you know what you want and if you believe, then you know that you will get there.
Stay inspired and keep rising.

#RomanticTuesday: In All of Our Days
Btw, always and forever, but you already knew that…
We stand on equal footing
Love gave us new eyes and new feet
Amazing what we are walking towards and what we see
Clasped hands when we awake and when we sleep
Even in our dreams we don’t drift apart
Always drawn to the beat of each other’s heart
After all, we are one heart
Btw, did I tell you that you are wonderful
And that is from the heart
Which has been wonder filled from the start
We are like lost art newly discovered
No reimaging
Pure love on display
In all of our days
And I am counting down the days
Picture in a frame, hands clasped
Hearts grasped gently
Far beyond always and forever
#MondayThoughts: For The Love of It
“There is an unmatched joy when we are doing the things we love.”
Have you ever noticed how you feel when you are doing something you enjoy? Time seems to have no relevance or bearing. You are completely immersed in what you are doing and your energy is at a peak level.
Now imagine yourself doing something you dread or don’t really feel like doing. You just want to get through it and get it done and done as soon as possible. Every minute feels like an hour and it is like you’re in the desert walking with no relief in sight. We don’t always enjoy what we do but we learn to do what we have to do.
When we have an opportunity to do what we love and the things that we really enjoy, it is a blessing to experience our gifts and use our talents. We don’t have to shy away from arduous task, only understand that they strengthen us in some way and help us to appreciate that which we love all the more.

Blocks
Building blocks
No house of cards
No tower of Babel
Cemented thoughts
Pillar for my heart
A steep staircase
One stair at a time
Adding more blocks
Going to build something magnificent
Never going to crumble
Milk and Honey
Listen up
trying to get my words
to line up
trying to get my ass up
the world is tossing and turning
and I’m surfing every wave
waving hello
seeing bears and bunnies
milk and honey
maybe too much sun in my eyes
bleeding heart crying tears
don’t worry
I’m alright, the oxygen is fresher than ever
taste like peppermint mocha
I’m still walking forward
looking forward
dreams in the oven
I can smell the scent
and I am following it
closely
On The Cusp
On the cusp of great things
Living, thinking and breathing
Bringing down the great wall that vanishes dreams
Prayers that pierce through this realm of being
The heart floods with hope
Like rainwater filling an empty basin
Always feeling the sun
Regardless of which way you turn
On the cusp of great things
#MondayThoughts: Self Stagnation
“When the environment you are wearing starts feeling tight. It means you are still growing.”
Feed and nurture your heart, mind and spirit. I believe there is always room for us to grow. Do not psyche yourself out into believing you have accomplished all that you can accomplish or that your life cannot continue to grow and expand.
Self stagnation happens for many reasons. By choice, by circumstance, voluntarily, involuntarily. Dreams have no age restriction or expiration. Sometimes you wake up to your environment (inner and outer) feeling kind of tight, this is a sign that your ideas and dreams are bursting at the seams, waiting to be sought out and realized. Ignore that stagnating voice and be all ears for the voice that inspires you.
Stay inspired and keep rising.
