See Me

Strip away artifice
Pull apart false ego
Honesty in flaws
Honesty in success
Honesty in pain 
Honesty in joy 
Trust the truth will connect
Trust that deep abiding love will prevail 
Trust the forgiveness of damaged souls 
Take off the mask 
Wipe your eyes clear 
Beauty is not in perfection 
Perfection is in the flawed 

Take a Breath

Take a breath
Feel the ground beneath your feet
Hear the beat of your heart
Let it steady you

The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment

Take a breath
Feel the water wash over you
Wash away the sad
Nourish the new

The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment

Take a breath
Feel the light surround you
Warmth and strength from the infinite
Bloom and open your heart.

The roll and pitch of life
Pushes up against you
It’s ok love
It’s only a moment

And who might you be?

One of my most favourite quotes is by Lord Byron, ‘I must write to empty my head or I shall surely go mad.’

There are millions of blogs out there. Why add another voice to the chorus? I like to write. Why should you follow mine? I hope you like to read. Do I have a theme? Not exactly, I think I have many. Am I doing this for fame? No, I am doing this to empty my very busy brain. A lifestyle blog? No, I don’t want to tell you how to live. A humour blog? I am hopeful that I will write more than just tragic tales and you’ll have a giggle or two. A learning blog? I am hopeful for a bit of that as well. I am very curious about the world around me and how I relate to it, and I do love to share what I have discovered. I also will randomly write poetry and fiction too. So I guess, really, if I were to pick a theme I’d have to say that I am inviting you on a sight seeing tour in my head. If I gain some readers than I am lucky and hopefully you will be touched, learned something and entertained.

I have long been putting some of my random thoughts on life, dealing with my anxiety disorder, (you’ll probably learn lots about that over time) and general silliness on Facebook and Instagram. I had a blog many years ago- I let it slip away. I decided to start again in part so I can move a majority of my writing to one place. So for some of who know me from those other forums, a few of these pieces may seem familiar, but trust I will have still more to say, new adventures and observations to report, so new things will be posted in various places.

I guess some of you may want a few actual details- I am 46 next week, I am a quick witted, a wee bit twisted, creative, generous, loving, strong human. I am a wife, mother, friend, teacher, massage therapist, pagan. There is my quick introduction. I guess the journey has begun.
