Reflections

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

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!

Daily writing prompt
What’s your go-to 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?
