Where are you going?

Like - right now - in this moment.
What is driving you.... your heart.... your thoughts... your life?
We all go through times in this life where we may not be in our most proud place.
But - look around - you are not alone.  So, brush yourself off and get a move on. :)

I haven't written in my blog in quite some time so I thought I'd put something out there that I have been "working on" for a little while.  Enjoy...!

When did it happen?

Growing up, I faced the usual challenges.. the awkward phases required while one stretches & figures one's way throughout these 24-hour days, we know as life.  The usual backdrop... the average number of difficulties made more manageable by the highlights of breakthrough joys, happy moments, safe havens, kindness showered by those held closest & with highest regard.  Days juggle between good & bad, average & mundane, mondays & every other.  The innocent & half-blinded outlook on life becomes watered down.  It finds itself as a boat on the sea with dangerous waves trying to overtake it... & sometimes that boat isn't able to withstand such a fight.  Though it try & try to stay afloat.  The little girl once known as wide-eyed & full of wonder has transformed into a young woman whose eyesight has narrowed through life experiences - a sense of wonder still lives in that heart, though not as full as before.  A sense of generosity remains, though is held at bay a bit more - due to a stronger sense of self-protection and self-awareness.  A stronger sense of kindness has been birthed, due to the lack of kindness shown throughout the more recent years.
