I am a force, self-sufficient and strong

Independent in my choices all day long

Love is my fuel, my passion, and drive

I thrive on it, and it keeps me alive.

My heart beats with a rhythm of its own

Guiding me as I walk life’s unknowns

I am tough, resilient, and unbreakable

My spirit unwavering and unshakable.

I love myself most, but I love others too

For love is the bond that makes us all new

I stand tall, proud, and free

My independence is a testament to me.

-I, Self-Aware-

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💗💚🧡❤🤍💜

Cave- A Special Place!

06/15/2025poetryAuthor, Beautiful Mind, Cave, Chill, Content, Creative Writing, Dreamer, Fantasy, Feelings, Get Away, happy, JustWrite, life, Poems, Poet, poetry, Ray'Elaine, Special Place, thoughtsRay'Elaine

In my loving cave

A cave built my way

My style

With all my wants, needs

A dreamy cave

A cave to go to

To think, release, or

Just to chill

A cave with bookshelves

Reading and calmness

A cave with writing materials

Writing and chilling

A cave all to myself

A cave where my imagination comes alive

In this cave, I release

All the bad inside

In this cave, I am freely me

A cave to keep me warm

Safe from harm

A cave to dream

A cave to breath

One with a nice view

The scenery keeps me cool

A special place to get away to

A cave, sorry, no outsiders

Need my peace

In this cave, I love me

Again, this cave it’s all for me!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Tuesday Morning.

06/10/2025poetry, PromptsAuthor, Blog, Faith, Feelings, Good Morning, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, MyThoughts, Peaceful, poetry, Tuesday, WritingRay'Elaine

The sun is rising

Ushering in a new day

Everything is quiet

Silent in every way

Dew upon the grass

A crispness in the air

Yesterday is gone

Moving forward without a care

Our spirits are lifted

Ready for the day ahead

New opportunities await

In this morning we are led

Nothing can stop us

Going forth with confidence and trust!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Progress

04/08/2025poetryAuthor, Blogging, Dreams, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, Poem, poetry, Progress, Ray'Elaine, WritingRay'Elaine

Though progress may seem slow, it’s progress still

Each step inching closer to my dream’s hold

Though doubts may linger, I’ll keep moving until

My journey reaches the destination I’m told

For dreams are not meant to be easy or swift

Instead, a test of will and persistence

With each obstacle conquered, a precious gift

To prove that my ambition has no resistance

So, though the road ahead may seem daunting

And progress appears to be at a crawl

I’ll keep pushing forward, never relenting

Until my dream is achieved, I will stand tall

Slow progress is still progress, this I know

And each step forward brings me closer to my goals

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

I Admit!

02/02/2025poetry, thoughtsAdmit, Author, Blog, Decisions, Feelings, Honest, JustWrite, life, Love, poetry, Ray'Elaine, Struggle, thoughts, Trust, Truth, writerRay'Elaine

I Admit that I am a person who is so stuck in my ways

I Admit that my attitude is not the best, I rage from time to time (SIGH)

I Admit that I can be a little hard to deal with and sometimes need reassurance that I’m still wanted and loved

I Admit that I have a tough time letting go

I Admit that it is hard to let my guard down and for me to fully be open

I Admit that I am afraid to love, to be vulnerable with someone

I Admit that it will be hard to not be in control all the time, when I feel the need to want to control everything

I Admit that I can be toxic in a way when I shut down and shut off from the world. I do not want to be bothered with anything or anybody. I really would not talk to anyone for days. I feel its toxic because I should just address shit instead of running a away and shutting down my emotions (BIG TRUTH)

I Admit that I have major trust issues and sometimes I just don’t believe what a person says sometimes

I Admit that it would be hard to let a man come into my life and take lead, also ADMIT this is something I will definitely work on

I Admit that when I do love someone, I LOVE HARD and care way too much

I Admit that when I find REAL LOVE I would be willing to make changes that I need to make for that right one

I Admit that I do not have all my shit together

I Admit that I feel like grief has taking over my life

I Admit that I get lost in my head, replaying a lot from the past

I Admit I am trying and a work in progress, I am healing and indeed working on me

I Admit that I am willing to change things that serve no good in my life

I Admit guilt to things I cannot change

I Admit I am always me

I Admit my truths here and now, BARE it ALL

My truths are here, LAID OUT

How about you???? What do you ADMIT?

-I ADMIT-

Blessings and Love

Anything For The Take II

02/01/2025thoughtsAuthor, Blogging, Books, Determination, Excited, Feelings, Focused, happy, JustWrite, life, MyThoughts, Passion, Ray'Elaine, WritingRay'Elaine

I can finally say that I am done with book two of Anything For the Take. It has been a long process when I say life has been chaotic….Never mind that. I was determined and so ready to finish this book. I have been writing for the last five hours, taking a couple of breaks to focus on the task.

I am so excited! It has been two years and 5 months, and I thought this book would be finished early, but here we are. I am done with the rough draft. Next, I will finish editing the book cover, copywriting, and publishing. I am happy to say that will happen very soon. Please be on the lookout for it!!

I just want to thank those who have supported me through this process. It has not been easy. I appreciate all the love and support, especially from my kids.

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for visiting.

Beautiful Personality

01/09/2025poetry, PromptsAuthor, Beautiful Mind, Beautiful Personality, Blog, Cool, Creative Writing, Faith, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, MyThoughts, Poet, poetry, Ray'Elaine, Smart, WritingRay'Elaine

A beautiful personality is a rare gem
A treasure that shines from within
It’s not something that can be bought or sold
But rather, it’s a quality to uphold

With a beautiful personality, one can light up a room
And bring joy to others in ways that can’t be assumed
It’s not about looks or material possessions
But rather, it’s about showing love and compassion

A beautiful personality a reflection of the heart
A testament to the kindness that sets us apart
It’s about being true to who we are
And shining our light, both near and far

So let us cherish and nurture this gift
And let it guide us through life’s many shifts
For a beautiful personality is a true treasure
One that only grows in value and measure

– Beautiful Personality-

Blessings and Love!

It’s a Writing Session

12/28/2024thoughtsAuthor, Blog, Chilling, Faith, Feelings, Feels, Get It Done, Happiness, happy, HappyWriting, JustWrite, life, Love, MyThoughts, Ray'Elaine, Vibes, Write LifeRay'Elaine

Hello all

I am in an okay mood tonight. I am back to writing, and it has been some weeks since I have. I haven’t been in the mood for anything lately. Besides that, I am writing and doing a little editing for one book and also going to be writing more poetry.

Don’t know what was going on with me, but I am grateful that tonight I am writing, and it’s going great. I am currently working on three books (Whew!) and I love it when I am in a zone and the writing comes so naturally. Yes, pen is flowing honey. Taking a break soon to make dinner for the kiddos and get them ready for school tomorrow. The rest of the night is dedicated to writing. Feel like I have been slipping, so I have to get it done.

I am also working on some new content for my blog. I’m so excited about what I have going on, but it is still a work in progress.

How is the day/night going for you? Any new goals? Writing Goals? Any plans for tonight?

Have a good night, all.

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.
