The End is the BeginningFailure is not the end of the line, It does not mean “stop” or give upIt means, take a break, Reflect, gain clarity, Redirect your energy And try again.

Higher Love:Fear, manipulation, dependency...And decimation of any part of who you are Is not based on a foundation of loveBelieve in a higher love One that sleeps and wakes on a bed of respectOne that sings through a harmony of hopeA higher loveBorn from recalling long-lost sweethearts of your soulAncient hearts that feel like yoursAnd love like yours

There's a beautiful sound you hear When you learn to drown out the noise and chatter from other peopleIt is you, the sound of your truthYour heart, your voiceUntouchable and loud with love

Heart of Humility: poem excerptIn a world full of brashness, pretence and bravado, Humility is undoubtedly a rare, And wonderful gift.

Love Request: Isn't this all we request from love? A brave, vulnerable and sincere exposure, To be candidly seen in all our faultsBlemishes, quirks and flaws Yet still be so implicitly lovedCherished, accepted And most of all, Wanted

Our beauty unfolds, we become.The ones that truly value youAnd the pricelessness of your presence Will stick around to watch the full beauty of the sunsetAs they gaze through to your soulAnd feel warmed by your charmAs you unfold, as you become

Just like the rose holds her beauty among the thorns- we can gather our strength from the most unlikely places.

Staying Power And the greatest beauty you could clothe your body with Are the gilded gems of staying powerLike traces of molten gold fusing through your cells That which has the capacity to overcome, endure, persevereAnd stay ever faithful to the soul beneath the personTo the spirit that cauterizes the flames No matter whatAnd forever more

Survive, because of the fire that burns withinIt sits inside you and melts through painAnd lights the shadows with embers of loveSurvive because your heart makes you greatIt beats the rhythm to your bones And sings lullabies to your soulSurvive because your strength lies in all you overcome It shakes you to lift you and take you bravely home
