Confession I

Short Stories, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello everyone

It is confession time and yes, I am sharing this and honestly, I don’t know if I should be embarrassed about this or not lol. Share and Confess

So, I am 36 years old, and next August, I will be the big 37, and guess what? I still do not know how to drive. Yeah, crazy, right. I have a fear of driving and also being in cars, traffic period. My sister recently asked me why and what the problem is she feels me not driving is an issue. And honestly, it is kind of is I do have 2 kids and have to get around more easily. To get around, I take buses and Lyfts/cabs, and even in those, I am scared. She says that I am putting my life in others’ hands instead of driving myself. I feel even if you drive yourself, you are still in others’ hands because you do not know how a person will be on the road. The fear started when I was a teenager, I had gotten into a couple of wrecks, and since then, I had just been scared. I have tried only twice. The first time, I was 26 years old and drove around the block twice and was like I am done. And the second time, it was just down the street, and I stopped myself and didn’t want to finish. Want to get over this fear and take those steps to learn how to drive and be confident in it. Try to tell myself to just do it but it is not easy for me. I probably get made fun of it due to my age and not being able to get anywhere I want. My kids even tell me I need to drive. It is so frustrating having this fear and I don’t know what to do about it. Want to be able to drive so I can take my kids places without paying extra for cabs and waiting for them. I am going to do some research on how I can calm myself and my mind and not think negatively when it comes to driving and cars. I kind of hate that it is this way and constantly question myself on why not just try. Why not get in a car and freaking drive ugghh? I annoy myself, I tell you lol.

I wanted to write this because lately, with a new year coming up, it has been on my mind. I would love to be able to move around more freely and want to get it done, stop being scared and a baby about it. Maybe I should take a driving class or some type of therapy. I don’t know. I must figure it out seriously. HELP!

Is anybody else struggling to face their fears? Care to share those fears? Any tips for me?

Blessings and Love!

Loner!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , ,

As a loner, I live in solitude 

With my thoughts and my weed 

My mind is renewed 

I find peace in the quiet, away from the crowd 

Where my thoughts can flow freely 

Unconstrained and loud 

The world can be overwhelming, with its noise and its haste 

But in my own company 

I find a comforting space 

I may be alone 

With my mind as my companion 

The smoke fills my lungs, and I’m lost in my head 

With my thoughts and my dreams 

I’m never really dead 

Being a loner and stoner may not be for all 

But for me, it’s a sanctuary, a peaceful withdrawal! 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Hard Work

thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight.

You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

Work hard, be patient and be yourself!

Just a thought!!!

Blessings and Love!

Last Day of July!

thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

This month has been crazy; honestly kind of pissed that I did not meet all my goals for this month. Been feeling out of sorts and still thankful for what the month has brought. I finally finished the rough draft for Anything For The Take II, so that was great. Still working on the book cover and editing.

 I am excited and looking forward to next month, to new beginnings, and, of course, to new goals to work towards. How has this month been for you all? Good? Bad? Meh? Or are you just not feeling it at all?

Happy that I will be publishing two books in August. Again, ready for the new month!

I am praying for better days and still trying to remain positive through it all.

Ready for August 2024

Blessings and Love.

Strength Within Me 

poetry, , , , , , , , ,

In the depths of darkness, I find my light 

A strength within me, burning ever-bright 

Through every trial, I stand tall and strong 

Defying odds, proving them all wrong 

With each new challenge, I rise above 

Fueled by courage, boundless as a dove 

In the face of fear, I find my voice 

Choosing resilience as my only choice 

Here I stand, unbreakable and true 

My inner strength guides me through 

No obstacle too great, no mountain too high 

I am a warrior, reaching for the sky 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Graceful!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

In chaos, where storms may rage

I strive to embody grace at every stage

With elegance and poise, I face each day

In every step and word, my grace holds sway

Like a swan gliding on a tranquil lake

I navigate life’s challenges for grace’s sake

In moments of turmoil, I remain serene

Embracing adversity with a graceful mien

So let me dance with grace in every stride

In the symphony of life, with grace as my guide

For in the art of being graceful and kind

I find true beauty and strength

-Graceful-

Blessings and Love!

Criticism

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

In the quiet halls of reflection, where words echo loudly

A whisper of criticism can feel like a shroud

But let not the heart waver, nor spirit be dim

For in the crucible of critique, growth begins

Each word, though sharp, is a tool to refine

Crafting from rawness, a work more sublime

Embrace the discomfort, let it teach and mold

For in the hands of the wise, it turns dross to gold

Stand resilient amidst the storm of review

The journey of improvement is for the brave and few

Let the words wash over; take what is true

And forge ahead, a more robust version of you!

-Criticism-

Blessings and Love!

Conflict.

poetry, Short Stories, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In a town where whispers fueled the air

Lived a soul, both fair and rare

A heart that sought to evade the fray

Choosing instead a peaceful way

This soul, amidst clamor and din

Found strength in silence, power within

Conflict arose, as it always will

Yet, they chose a path, steady and still

“Let’s talk,” they’d say with a gentle smile

“Find common ground, walk the extra mile.”

Their words, like seeds in fertile ground

Grew into solutions, profound

Enemies turned allies in their wake

Realizing there’s more at stake

In a world eager to divide and fight

They stood as a beacon of conciliating light

The tale of their journey, far and wide

Becomes a guide, a peaceful tide

For in avoiding conflict, they did not flee

But faced it with grace for all to see!

-Conflict-

Blessings and Love!

Elevate! 

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Elevating, believing in myself 

I hear my voice. It echoes with wealth 

A wealth of confidence and inner strength 

A power within that goes to great length 

Lengths that I once thought were out of reach 

Now I know that my goals I can breach 

My doubts and fears fall away like dust 

As I rise higher in myself, I trust 

Trust in the journey, trust in the climb 

With each step forward, I’m on the incline 

The top may be far, but I will prevail 

For I am capable, and my spirit will not fail 

Elevating, believing in myself 

I hear my voice. It echoes with wealth! 

Blessings and Love!
