I must

/

I must show up

Put pen to paper

Be in the moment

Let my heart and soul speak

I must let it flow through me

The secret words longing to be expressed

No longer holding onto them

I must be flexible

Let my hand take me where my heart wants to go

Never questioning why

I must be brave

And trust the process

Simply moving right along

I must be

right

here

Ordinary Sparkling Moments

My Ordinary Sparkling Moment

I was given the honor of being a Book Fairy
To set this beautiful book out into the world
For an unsuspecting person to find

It brought me so much joy to leave it
And made me think deeply about receiving
If I were walking down the path and spotted it
I may have passed it by, like I saw some people do
It is not always easy to receive

But there are times when we need to let others in
Let them help us
Guide us
Hold our hand while we travel down our path

And so I let the book fly
In Ridgewood NJ
At a park I go to often
Knowing in my heart that whoever found it
Was ready to receive and let in such a beautiful gift

Thank you Swirly, for giving me my book fairy wings
It was such a pleasure

I have

/

The stars have

aligned

for me

Somehow, someway

I am lucky

So incredibly lucky

I have my feet

They help me travel

Step by step they lead me on new adventures

Take me to new experiences

And help me stand tall in who I am

I have my legs

They carry me

Always standing back up after every time I fall down

Scars on my knees tell the stories

Of the risks I have taken

The stumbles that have made me stronger

And they weave together pieces of my story

I have my core

Which houses my heart and soul

They each guide me

Entice me to try new things

Be

adventurous

Take that next step

And embrace the beauty that is close at hand

My heart soaks in the happiness that swirls around me

And guides me during my sadness

My soul heals all things

And grounds me

I have my arms

That lift me up

Hug the ones I love

And encircle all things that fill me up

I have my hands

That love to hold

another's

hand

They wipe away my tears

And clap in

excitement

They write the words that flow from my heart and head

And touch the lives of others

I have my head

Which

protects

my brain

Allowing me to think

Decide what I want to do

Be who I am

Dream up incredible things

And create the things I desire

I have my ears

That listen to sweet music

Which makes my feet want to dance

It hears secrets passed between friends

Ideas blossoming and a friends encouraging words

I have my eyes

That take in all the beauty around me

The

radiant

sunset

Someone smiling

All the words that I soak up

My eyes see you, all of you

I have my mouth

To taste the delicious foods that nourish my body

Feel the kiss of a tender soul

To whisper I love you, and tell you how much I care

I have me

All of me

And for this

I am

Incredibly

lucky

Y.O.U

/

I can feel all of you

Deep in my heart

I can hear you cheering me on

I read your encouraging words

But to hug you

Look deep into your eyes

Hold your hands

That is what I long for

How I wish I could scoop you all up

And plant you right beside me

So we could go for long walks

Talk over coffee

Go on adventure walks snapping photos

And paint together side by side

How I long to hear your voice

Listen to your story

Look deep into your eyes

And simply,

just be with Y.O.U

How I miss you

I wish I could buy a ticket

So I could be by your side

See what your day to day life is like

See where you live

What you do

Meet your family

And see Y.O.U

Just as you are

I miss you all

I love you all

Are you sure,

you do not want to move to NJ?

Or at least visit for a short while?

I am

/

I am strong and brave

I wonder if I will ever be madly and deeply in love again

I hear the sound of happiness ringing in my soul

I see the world again with new eyes

I want to truly know myself

I am strong and brave

I pretend that I know what I am talking about at times

I feel like I have the power to change my path

I touch the hearts of others

I worry that I may never find myself

I cry when I long for connection, deep connection

I am strong and brave

I understand that their are certain things in life that take time, sometimes a very long time

I say love heals all

I dream about inspiring others

I try to write my feels from my heart and soul

I hope to appreciate the beauty in the every day

I am strong and brave
