Looking back on the mistakes I made
Now, knowing they were lessons learned
Reflections
Looking back on the chaos that ensued
Now knowing that
You get the bad sometimes before the good
Reflections
Looking back at the rage I felt
Now knowing how to control myself and move forward
Reflections
Looking back on it all
Now knowing I am standing tall
Through it all

The Quiet In Healing
They say healing is loud
Really?
Like thunder, heavy drums, and like a phoenix in flames
But not mine
Mine came in whispers
The hush between heartbreak and hope
In the silence after the storm
When the wreckage still smelled like yesterday
I didn’t scream
I didn’t roar
I sat with the ache
With the echo
With the version of me I buried beneath “I’m fine.”
Healing is not always heroic
Sometimes it’s holding your own hand
When no one else is there
It’s rewriting the story
When the pen feels too heavy
It’s breathing
Even when the air tastes like memory
I stitched myself together
With threads of forgiveness
Patched the holes with grace
And wore my scars like armor
Not shame
I learned that broken
Doesn’t mean unworthy
That soft doesn’t mean weak
Healing is not a finish line
It’s a rhythm
A dance
A daily decision to rise
So, if you’re still hurting
Still healing
Still holding on by a whisper
Just know this:
You are not behind
You are not broken
You are becoming!
Blessings and Love!

The Weight of What Was Real!
The truth came not as a whisper
Just raw
But a loud thunderclap at dawn
Shattering the silence
We’d built our lives upon
It wore no mask of mercy
No veil to soften the blow
Just raw
An unvarnished memory
Of things we didn’t know
It peeled back painted stories
Exposed the hidden seams
Turning lullabies into warnings
And daylight into dreams
We begged it to be more kinder
To lie just one more time
But truth does not negotiate
With comfort or with crime
It named the ghosts we buried
Uncloaked the quiet pain
And stitched our hearts with needles
Of loss we can’t explain
Yet in its cruel unveiling
A strange release was found
For trauma born of honesty
Still walks on solid ground
So let it burn the pages
Let it flood the past with light
Truth may wound without permission
But it never hides from sight!
Blessings and Love!

A Purpose II
In the deepness of discomfort
I wandered aimlessly
Lost and confused, unsure of my destiny
I searched high and low for a reason to be
To find my place in this world, to finally be free
I sought out love in every shape and form
In hopes that it would calm the raging storm
But with every heartbreak, my spirit was torn
And the search for love left me feeling dejected
Climbing mountains and swimming in the sea
But still, my purpose evaded me
I longed for a sign, a glimpse of clarity
To guide me towards my true destiny
But amidst the confusion
I found a glimmer of hope
A light in the darkness, a way to cope
I realized that the search itself was my goal
To embrace the journey and let my purpose unfold
I continue to search with an open heart and mind
To discover my purpose and the love I long to find
For I know that with patience and perseverance combined
My destiny will reveal itself in due time
-A Purpose II-

T.O.L-Heal/Hurt
Healing the hurt
If you don’t heal what hurt, you
Heal what lost you
Heal your mind
Body
Soul
You will bleed on people
Who did not cut you
Who tries to be there
For you
Who loves you
That is why healing and becoming one
With self is important.
Heal and let all the hurt go
Can be easier said than done
Can be a long process
You should still try!
Just Heal!
Thinking out loud.
Blessings and Love!

Comfort Food!
I have a few go-to comfort foods. Ice cream is one of them. I love ice cream and can eat it at any time, from bars to sandwiches. I also love Southern-fried potatoes, which is another comfort food I enjoy. I make them all the time with sausage, and it is so yummy. A third comfort food, more like junk food, is Gushers. I have to always have some lol. I can eat those all day. These are my comfort foods that I love and eat to make me feel good.
What are your go-to comfort foods?
Blessings and Love!

Process of Healing!
In the midst of life’s ups and downs
I find myself with a smile that knows no bounds
My heart sings a melody of joy
As I embrace the healing process, oh boy!
There’s something magical about being upbeat
It’s like a light that shines so bright and sweet
No matter what life throws my way
I know that happiness will always stay
I dance to the rhythm of my heart
And let peace and love be my guiding art
With each passing day, I heal and grow
And my soul radiates a beautiful glow
Here’s to the journey of life
To the highs and lows that make it so flush
I choose to be upbeat, happy, and free
And let the healing process set me free
-Process of Healing-
Blessings and Love.

Unhealthy Habits II
I made a blog about unhealthy habits 3 years ago. Sadly, not so many changes were made. Here I am again in 2025, still needing to change these unhealthy habits. I want and need to start with stopping the smoking of cigarettes. This very unhealthy habit is one I really need to change. Damn unhealthy habits.
It has been on my mind heavily lately, so I know for sure that it is something I need to do. I am turning 38 in a month, and I’m in need of a few changes. I can keep doing the stuff I have been doing. I am proud of myself for getting my diabetes under control, but now I have hypertension, and smoking is bad for both conditions. Bad for my overall health. Ugh, unhealthy habits.
I will be starting the process of quitting cigarettes soon, and I know it will not be easy (though I wish it were). I am willing to put in the work to make this change and this awful unhealthy habit. These unhealthy habits need to be gone. I am thinking about keeping a journal during this process. I want to document both the positive and negative aspects throughout this process. I got this. I need to find new hobbies and need to stay busy. I also need a new way of thinking. Damn unhealthy habits.
Have you tried to stop something you were use to? How did you cope? Any advice for me?
