Have It All

Daily writing prompt
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
View all responses

To me having it all means that I am in the career I want, constantly completing goals to stay in my career. My family and I are together and happy. Having a comfortable life with loved ones. Maybe a dream home that I have built. Having it all means that you have happiness inside and out.  To me it is not all about money and having a lot of material things. Being comfortable in life, with your life and of course being surrounded by those you love the most.

For what I feel having it all is, yes, it is attainable and sustainable. Anything in life can be challenging but working hard towards what you want is key. You do that indeed you can have it all.

What do you think?

Blessings and Love!

Last Goodbye…

Prompts, , , , , , , , , , ,

Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

So, the last difficult goodbye I had to say was to my mom. She was battling kidney failure for twelve years. In the months of November and December of 2020 her health started to take a turn. Held on for two months. She was in hospice for a week and a half. It was two years ago and tomorrow would be the 2nd year anniversary of her passing. February 28th, 2021.

It was a very hard goodbye. Painful as I was there the whole time and watching her transition. That day is one I would not forget. Some of the things she went through is etched in my mind. The only thing is that I was able to have a last talk with her. Her words are also etched in my mind.

Losing a parent, the healing process is no easy task. Hell losing anyone the healing will not be easy. Keep telling myself not to be sad tomorrow but remember the good things.

Shoutout to those who have lost someone and is in the healing stage. Stay strong! Trust, I know it is not easy. One day at a time.

Kind of happy I let this out…. Such a difficult goodbye.

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💚💗🤍❤

T.O.L.-Time Travel!

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

Just sitting here thinking and I wish I can time travel. Just get in the machine and take off to an earlier time. Even if it is just for a day. Go back to a time when I was carefree, no worries, no stress, weights of the world on me. Have you ever had that feeling? Going back to a peaceful time in your life and just escape for a moment. Or maybe to go back to see or hang out with a lost loved one or just to change some shit about your life, have a do-over.

That is my feelings tonight. Right now, my brain is full of memories the happy ones, and wishing I can just revisit those times. Wishful thinking huh? Well, that’s all it is, is me thinking about the impossible shit. Sometimes my mind goes there lol. Am I the only one?

My night writing and too much thinking.

Thinking out loud….If I could time travel, teleport. LOL yeah, I am in my own awkward, weird world.

Blessings and Love!

No More Tears

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Learning to be okay

With my past

I often tell myself

No more tears

Learning to let go

Of the tight hold

The past has over me

Again, I say

No more tears

Want it all to be forgotten

Blocked out my mind

Struggling to move on

No more tears

For those who caused pain

No more tears

For my benefit

Let it go Ray

Do not let it define you

No more tears

Tired of being tied down

No more I say

I have to gain control

No more tears

Be myself, be free

No more questioning why

All cried out I am

Stay strong

Stand tall, rise above my past

Be proud, wear my scars

I say to myself, no, nope, done

No More Tears.

Blessing and Love.

Thank you for reading.

Damn Tears…

You are not crazy

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

Thought I share

“You are not crazy the things that happened to you hurt. The things they said that broke your heart, it broke your heart. the abuse you endured by their hands and mouth, you endured it. You are not crazy, you lived through trauma, pain, and unbelievable hurt that has changed you forever. That makes you a fighter with a memoir of scars, a warrior birthed in the mess of life. What a brave soul you are”

Read it again!

Thank you

Disappear…

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

Might just disappear

Back in my shell for a while

No smile

Like damn life happens

Questioning why

Might just disappear

To get away from it all

Feeling like no hope

Insight

Might just disappear

Maybe just to clear my head

Gain clarity

Want to get back to me

Out this shell

But for now

Truth is

I might just disappear

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.


A Thought!

If you offer me a sincere apology and change your behavior, I’ll never bring up our past issues again.

But if no apology was given and you’re still repeating mistakes, you can’t ask me to stop mentioning the past. The past is actually the present if you haven’t changed…..

The Truth!!!

-A Thought-

Have a good one!

Blessings and Love!

Lately I have been off and trying to get back to me and be happy. Trying to get these books done and have other projects in the works.

Strength is needed!!! Sometimes I need to slow down.

I want to start a new business where I will be a ghostwriter. Still have to get that started. Also want to design book covers for authors. I have been doing some practice with book designs and flyers it is something I love to do. Just wishing it turns out good for me. That is definitely in the works.

Constant new ideas coming, and I let my mind and pen flow with it. That is just Ray’Elaine. Just Write and be you!

Yes, there is more to come!!!

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Springtime!

poetry, , , , , , , , ,

Spring has arrived, the world in bloom

A season of new life and new hope

The flowers burst forth, a colorful scope

Their sweet fragrance filling every room.

Love is in the air, a feeling of joy

As birds sing their sweet serenade

Families gather, memories made

A time to cherish and enjoy.

Springtime brings a sense of renewal

A time to let go of the past

Embrace the present, make it last

And let the beauty of spring fuel.

In this season of love and growth

May we cherish all that we hold close.

Blessisngs and Love!

One day at a time!

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

Sometimes things happen in life that is out of our control and at times it can be hard to deal with. Having to deal with all the emotions that come from different situations in your life can be difficult. Trust, I know. Take it one day at a time. Take deep breaths, pray.

Trust your healing process and know that everything will be ok. Take it one day at a time. If you feel you need to rest, take a break do that, calm yourself it will be okay.

In life sometimes it’s best to slow down and focus on your mental health. Make sure you are good. Take time for you. Have strength and courage. Have faith. Be kind to yourself and trust I know it’s hard when taking care of a family, but it is important. Be a gentle you, a more focused you. I am still healing, and I know that sometimes it is ok to not be okay but pick yourself back up. Learning to love me more every day and wish the same for others. Again, I am still healing and a work in progress.

Again, take it one day at a time.

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💗💚🧡❤🤍💜
