Dare to Live
Taking steps preparing to give
Myself the chance to really live
Renewed sense of importance and purpose
Grounded inner voice of hope leads the chorus
Past is over but not forgotten
In ways I've transformed karmic contract unwritten
Stepping out of the box the world attempted to put me in
Diving head first into my destiny wearing colorful skin
Courageous and true for love to feel is the ultimate win

The grief train rolls on.......pouring my heart out in words. The only things I have to read through once the crying is over afterwards.

#healingjourney #shamanichealer #artofshamism #youcanhealyourlife #healingenergy #emotionalmusings #emotionalpoetry #griefquotes #griefrecoveryEvery tear
Filled with hope that I'll one day see you again
Every tear drop bathes my soul with thoughts that drain
Allowing the geyser of pain release of the pressure
Simmering down creating a calming refresher
Containing all extremities of emotion
My heart loves as deep and as wide as the ocean
Without you here I just feel lost
Staring at the blank canvas of an artist
All the world looks black and white
Lacking of any brilliance in color at first sight
Traveling beneath now, I turn inwards to hibernate
Returning when these sad feelings dissipate
Caring less now who sees my human rain
Such a long and winding road is this terrain
Endless sorrow overwhelming grief
Faith that one day soon I will have relief

Divine love is always available, even when we are sometimes blind to it.
#divineguidance #divineprotection #divinetiming #divinelove #emotionalmusings #emotionalwarrior #angelwhispers #spiritualpoetry #spiritualjourney #healingjourney #writingcommunity #writersnetwork #feelittohealit #authenticself #feelings #emotions #emotionalpoetryBeing fearless
Swimming through the seas of loneliness and despair
Choices made in fear serve no purpose and lack care
Floating amongst the sorrow and pain
Instead of succumbing to the drain
Choosing to see what's to be gained
Depth of emotions molds the courageous to find wisdom
Shifting perspectives to discover what inner strength is
It all plays a role in uncovering my truth
As I allow the flow to trickle through
Seeing clearly into myself and straight through to you
Thank you God for showing me the way
Carrying me effortlessly when I feel lost and dismayed
Avoidance of feelings shows me nothing
Like an artist staring at a blank canvas
Slowly the colors trickle back into my world
Strangeness of reality teaches me that which is mine
Love sings boldly, raining down from the Divine

Grief comes in waves as I surf them with as much balance as I can muster. Some days I make it through unscathed. Today was tougher and I allow the sobs to carry me off to bed. Pulling the covers up over my head.

Sitting in a multitude of musings
Everything feels so confusing
Alone I sit and curse the sky
Why God do I have to feel this way and cry
Bartering anything I have to take away the pain
Nothing works, loss is a cruel energy drain
Wallowing through self pity and swimming in fear
Vacillating between anger and deep sorrow
Begging to have just one more tomorrow
Mysterious as this cycle is
God's plan unfolds divinely and promises to give
A rest to my poor weary head
Good night dear ones, it's off to bed
The sun will shine again one day
Parting the clouds and sharpening my resilient heart
For now I accept the waves of emotion that play their part

Thoughts and feelings bubbling up to the surface as I witness my country turned upside-down because of the unresolved election. Thoughtfulness is sorely lacking as too many lash out and start attacking each other.. In the end, will it ever truly matter? I'm still going to show up in this world as a kind and loving person ❤ Choose your words wisely my dears.
#words #respond #react #reactiveness #politics #onenation #onenationundergod #unitedstates #america #ourworld #upfordebate #erasethehate #choosewisely #observations #thoughts #feelings #emotionalmusingsA world of words
Shouting, begging and pleading to be heard
So many words used callously has become absurd
Mindless chatter destroying one's worth
All symbolic meaning lost in translation and interpretation
Lashing out and competing for attention creates distraction
True meaning is all but swallowed into darkening abyss
One's own intentions are cast away and dismissed
Turning our whole world upside-down
Compassion and empathy is what needs to be passed around
Turning the tides and righting the seas
Of all the illusion of "you" vs "me"
A time for healing and a return to decency
We've become so imbalanced, normalized complicancy
Love's the one word that has been forgotten
An untapped superpower to disspell whatever's turned rotten
Thoughtfulness and mindfulness restored upon the nations
Upholding God's plans for all of creation
Love each other as the one beating heart we are
Words can get in the way of this and keep us apart, gone too far
Careful responsiveness can do the trick
Remembering a world before consumption of politics

My motto is "Triumphing over Trauma" and my life is an ever unfolding story of that. Today my blog is 2 years old. Valuable lessons and the connections I've made can be compared to gold. Fueling my passion and pushing me onwards. No looking back now as I press forwards into this new chapter.

Writing is my greatest glory
Passion filled and rich in story
Lived expressiveness through and through
Challenges I've survived are the glue
Stitching and weaving each heartache as one
Triumphing over trauma has given birth to the feeling that I've won
No regrets, only lessons lived moment by moment
Trials and errors fueled fodder for this poet
Putting it all out there, it's my badge of honor
Certainly never a dull time or a yawner
Expressing myself creatively by using words
Allowing myself to spread my wings, soaring like a bird
Sparking hope and inspiration in others
My testimony sets my mission for my sisters and brothers

Looked upon as a savior
Held in high esteem and favor
Searched for all over this vast land
Who could hold this title so grand
Rubbing my eyes and awakening to see
The hero of my story is me
Feeling intuitively just where I'm supposed to be
Living heart centered while my soul becomes free
The person I've been seeking all my life
Endured such evil and survived painful strife
Overcoming obstacles using all of my insight
Never once quitting or giving up slightly
Powering through until I arose quite safely
Finally accepting my greatest reward
Hope, faith and trust has been fully restored
The hero I've dreamed of all along
Is staring back at me in the mirror singing my theme song
I believed so I tried, rescued myself and now I'm alive

Bloom where you grow. Look deep within, allow it. Surrender to the beauty that is there just waiting to be set free

Grounded into roots so sturdy
Slowing down not in a hurry
Seeing the essence of beauty in nature
Gifted to us all by the creator
Allowing oneself to blossom and bloom
Just where the roots which first conceived
Processing this, enlightenment is received
Sunlight's kiss aids in growth
Rain sprinkles and gives hope
Love's the soil that enriches the scope
Vision is clear, petals unfurled
Embracing all life has to offer for our world

Attachment is the root of all suffering. A lesson I must learn time and again.
#lettinggo #letgoandletgod #meditation #mindsetshifting #mindfulness #processing #suffering #attachment #emotional #emotionalmusingsAttached
Drowning in expectations
Exhausted by emotional frustrations
Searching desperately for a way out
Something to make sense of continued doubt
Broken record plays negative self talk
Spins out redundant thought
Chastising myself for following the lies
Self induced desire blocking potential bliss
Delusions overwhelming bottomless abyss
Suffocating under the pressure
Of becoming my own oppressor
White knuckle grip on what should be
Letting go is the key
Opens the door to freedom, even a crack
Shifting to mindfulness will guide me back
Inner peace, just be therefore I am

Inner world wisdom brings forth my authentic self. The lesson is in the struggle. Self love, forgiveness and trust are my guides.
#selflove #forgiveness #selfcare #innerwisdom#trust #love #authenticself #higherself #greatestgood#hope #faith #writingcommunity#poetrycommunity #emotionalmusings #spirituality #spiritualawakening #lifelessons #release #lettinggo #surrenderBoiling over
Pressure builds as an escape plan crafts
A quicker way out to avoid the drafts
Big holes gaping wide engulf my heart
Threatening to take me back to the start
Inner voice gets louder, soul steps forward
Putting an end to the turmoil and torture
Relinquishing control, seeing the bigger picture
Allows my soul to step in with its infinite wisdom
Breaking out of a conditioned system
Freedom is reached liberating me to feel peace
What doesn't serve falls away, finally deceased

“Tomorrow will be better if you let your heart rule today.” ~ Leo Christopher
Channeling Divine love as I allow uncertainty of change to move through
#inspiration #trust #love #selfcare #relationships #iloveyou #authenticself #hope #faith #listentoyourheart #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #emotionalmusingsBe still
Being quiet and still takes patience on my part
The energy I feel pushes me to start
A stirring, unsettled, restless confusion
Turning inwards is the only solution
Listening to my soul and allowing grace to soothe me
No need for control, what troubled moves through until I can see
Giving myself permission to heal, creating a sacred space
Is the only solution I've discovered serves me best
©ladysag7711 0mariateresa 98w
Thoughts on love and trust. How vital these two values are to an authentic loving relationship. Bonded together through eternal truth.
#inspiration #trust #love #bonded #relationships #authentic #hope #faith #values #emotionalmusingsLove & trust
Together walking hand in hand
The two, each important leaving footprints in sand
No matter the obstacle one depends upon the other
Finding comfort in each, like shelter and cover
Having each is lovely yet bonded together creates eternal strength
A union to build upon that ensures length
A richer depth of emotion can endure
Entwined in truth at its core
Forever held in unconditional respect
Relationships flourish in every aspect
Coexisting magic
Love and trust

Moving through old emotions like putting on an old pair of shoes that don't fit anymore. Awaiting the river to recede while spirit continues to hold me in this process as I clear out all that isn’t me and open up to all that is me.
#timetakestime #oldemotion #gowiththeflow #heaviness #feelings #feelingsticky #emotionalmusings #empath #empathsbelike #empathproblems #human #humanity #oldwounds #divinetime #divineinterventionCaught in between
All sensation feels heightened in contraction
Caught in a sea of momentary distraction
Climbing the walls of uncomforbility
No choice but to sit awaiting realignment and stability
Dust displaced that had filled in my cracks
Reminded of all that was holding me back
Tired, aching my heart hurts to feel
I know all the while that time is what's needed to heal

In honor of the retrograde of Mercury season in our Universe and all the big lessons I learned. Getting caught up in emotion and riding that perpetuate roller coaster every time. The only option is to buckle up and ride it out as best I can my dears.

Disrupted flow pulling me backwards
Confronting situations, hard to find exact words
One minute's contentment leads to confusion
Riding high on emotion seems a steady illusion
For what is reality at any given time
Experiences mixed together don't add up sometimes
Exhausted and frustrated looking for a way out
Knowing the only way is through for there is no doubt
Aligning with the truth, a tremendous uphill battle
Patience will see me through, putting me back in the saddle
For now I must hang on, ride this out and stay the course
Nothing good will result from any sort of force
In the end, actively loving myself is the only answer
Gracefully moving forward, taking each step as a dancer
Practicing selfcare will result in more self acceptance
Leading me to discover a brand new transcendence

When I embrace what I have in abundance, my heart overflows with gratitude and love. Trusting. Surrendering. Releasing. Believing. Moving on❤❤❤

Overwhelming gratitude flows my heart
God's grace and mercy He always does impart
Uplifting my spirits and igniting my eternal flame
Radiating love is the only aim
Prayers answered in His Divine time
His trust in me makes me feel so sublime
Knowing that whatever happens is meant to be
For now I am at peace, tomorrow holds no guarantee
Living in the moment is a gift to behold
More precious than any diamond or big chunk of gold
Allowing love's abundance to cleanse my soul
Acceptance of His beauty is always the goal.
Amen

Earth, water, air and fire ignite my soul
Dancing upon the ground allows me to be in control
Magical whispers from Divine hold my attention
Long enough to step into the 5th dimension
Superior energy teaches me how to stay in love
With myself and the spirits above
Bursting with knowledge holds powerful transformative energy
The story of my life could be a documentary
Life's mysterious stirrings are the most beautiful expressions
Never an end to all of these confessions
Freeing my spirit allows me to soar even higher
Leaving labels living outside society's box
Releases all holds and is the key to the lock
Watch out world while I rise up
Whomever else feels me put your hands up!

My firstborn son Tyler is turning 18 on August 5th, this is a poem in his honor. I will probably print it out with a design overlay and frame it as his gift. My heart and soul, Happy Birthday Tyler

The very idea of you blew my mind as now
I try my hardest to rewind
These precious years that have gone by
I've watched you grow from boy to man
At first you took my hand
But now you're ready to expand
Crossing over now from child to adult
I clear my throat just trying to adjust
My pride for you is special and deep
As I watch you take this giant leap
You give me purpose and a love so dear
My first born son, when I look at you it's clear
Your coolness, kindness and sweet heart
Allow you to shine and stand apart
You made me a mother and I'm forever blessed
To watch you and see what life gives you next.

Value the female in your world. End male toxicity. I'm more than a pretty face and a smile. See me first but always hear my voice.
#girlpower #womenempowerment #morethanjustaprettyface #celebratethefeminine #feminine #selflove #loveyourself #inspiration #motivation #emotionalwarrior #emotionalmusings #girlboss #womeninbusinessSmile & be pretty
It took a lil bit longer for me to realize
That I am so much more than all your lies
All this crap we feed our daughters
Yet we wonder when they falter
I am more than just my looks
Thankfully I coped by reading books
Filled me with wonder, curiosity and questions
Ready to move to the next progression
Smart and sassy I hold my head up high
Staring down while no one looks me right in my eyes
I refuse to smile and play nice
Having no voice yet looking pretty
A late bloomer in life
But I'm here now refusing any strife
Stronger, wiser and deep gratefulness
I know now I will endure this mess
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
Rise to my rightful place, holding myself with grace
Much more than just a pretty face
