I remember you
memories of years past
life as we knew it then
people we were at one time
I remember you
we traveled the path for a while
lessons taught and learned
love and laughter we shared
I remember you
maybe it wasn't always easy
but you were a part of my life
and I have set a sacred space for you
I remember you
tonight as much as any other night
when I can talk to you
when I can tell you how much I love you
I remember you
throughout the years
throughout the lifetimes
our souls s... Continue reading ...

I have found peace
in the quiet of my life
in the stars in the sky
in the eyes of my love
I have found peace
in walking to through my life
in stopping at the challenges
and moving forward once again
I have found peace
in the lives that touch me
in the love that I give
in my own foundation
I have found peace
in my connection to spirit
in my connection to the earth
in my connection to my soul
I have found peace
my mission is keep it alive
to offer it to others who need it
and to keep it... Continue reading ...

I
hear the phrase"you can't teach an old dog new tricks" when referring
to people who don't want to change or learn something new.
I have to wonder why not?
I know when I pick up
a book or take a class, I can feel my mind opening. I look at things
differently. My collective knowledge is now expanded with this new
information and I might change my thoughts on a thing or two.
Many people,
though, think that they can't learn anything new. That they are too
set in their ways , too "old" or...

The sky above
The earth below
the heart in between
the spirit all around
a sweet reminder
of our place in the world
the impact we make
the ripples we send across the land
Each step we take
reminds us of our place
it is a good place
no matter where it is
So we move on
we strive forward
we honor the land, our heritage
our purpose, our contract
When we let ourselves be
just who we were meant to be
the heavens and earths open
and that's when we truly live

Celebrate each day
for your eyes opening
your early morning breath
breakfast of champions
Celebrate each day
for your heart beating
the hugs you receive
the laughs from your belly
Celebrate each day
for the work that you complete
the relationships you build
the lives you touch
Celebrate each day
for the moments that make you pause
whether they are unbelievable
or amazingly good and memorable
Celebrate each day
for the challenges you face
you can handle them with your famous style

Fate deals us the cards
how we play them in our choice
whether we fold, go all in or bluff
we hold the cards, remember?
Our chips are worth so many things
fame, fortune, family
love, hate, pain,
success, joy, happiness
Our game is the one that we play
people sit at the table
they may support us, challenge us, or deceive us
but they are all part of our game
Some people leave the table
they take their chips and go
whether or not we understand their strategy
their own game is in play too

I take a deep breath
and I dive
in
I can't
see
the waters are
muddy
I swim, I push my
arms
I fight against the
water
trying to hard to get
there
I will make it to the
other side
I come up for
air
and dive back
in
I can't stop
now
treading water in not an
option
I am so
tired
but I go
further
I can see the
horizon
I have to make
it
My new journey
begins
if I can make it through
this
I reach out, I touch
land
I can breathe
again

We join together
in unity
in peace
in solidarity
We join together
to build up
to support
to lend a hand
We join together
for common purpose
for strong energy
for belief in a cause
We join together
when times are tough
when there seems to be no hope
when the battle needs us
We join together
because we can
because we care
because we love
We join together
to help others
find their voice
their hearts
and their lives
Uplifting as one

The air called to me
so I went to the
sky
sat on a
cloud
and watched the world go
by
The water called to
me
so I went to the
sand
sat on the
beach
and watched the world
expand
The earth called to
me
so I went to the
ground
lay on the dirt
and listened to the
world's sound
The fire called to
me
so I went to the red
hue
warmed my
hands
and saw the world's
flames burn through
My Spirit called to
me
it was time to go
inside
listen to the
words
and let Spirit
provide
air, earth, fire and

We often forget we are human
that we live lives of
trials and tribulations
our souls don't have all
the answers
our instruction manuals
are not complete
So we learn by error and
experience
we misstep and take
victory walks
we hurt and we heal with
our words
we cast out and draw in
with one breath
But we are our own
judges and juries
we sentence ourselves to
years of pain and purgatory
trying to navigate
through life
with chains around our
feet and hearts
We are worse on
ourselves than o... Continue reading ...

It starts with me
The good work I can do
The hard work I put in
The rewards I get to reap
It starts with me
A positive attitude
A strong will
A heart that's open
It starts with me
The change I wish to see in the world
The impact I hope to make on others
The life I wish to have
It starts with me
The people I have in my life
The experiences I draw in
The way I handle those people and experiences
It starts with me
how I chose to live
how I chose to love
how I chose... Continue reading ...

Like the Phoenix, she rises again.
the ashes represent her past.
They lie on the ground,
flying
away into the calming wind.
Like a Scorpion, she
stings.
her needle makes a direct hit.
They feel the pain of
her wrath,
her point has been made.
Like a Horse, she runs
moving quickly through the fields.
Her hair blows with the breeze,
her beauty and grace is in her movement.
Like a Butterfly, she
flutters.
Her wings, small, yet powerful.
She flies through the
air,
gliding across the sky, lo...

Finally those words sunk in
I can feel them in my bones
I heard all of the syllables
and the soothing, caring tones
I haven't been treating myself very well
this I finally figured out
I know there were times I was frustrating
I knew you had your doubts
But I had to learn it on my own
no matter how hard of a lesson it may have been
I know you were ready to give up
you thought it just wouldn't sink in
It's important to me that you know
all those talks meant something to me
I may have seeme... Continue reading ...

The Flames
burn so bright
the orangey red
flickers
throwing off soft light and
heat
The Flames
burn away
confusion
the ashes of the past float
away
what's left is my
future
The Flames
burn away
illusion
the heat teaches me
caution
I must proceed with
thought
The Flames
burn away
inhibitions
I sit around the
circle
I am encouraged by the
warmth
The Flames
encourage
passion
I am driven to take
action
I let nothing stand in my
way
The Flames
illuminate my
way
the light burns
bright

Reach out
and grab the hands of
the one you love
tell them how much you
care
and don't be afraid to
share
Reach
out
and touch the someone
with affection
let them feel a touch so
tender
so they may open their
heart and surrender
Reach
out
and help someone to
their feet
hold them up, brush off
the dirt
and hug away the
hurt
Reach

and take a chance even
when scared
the greatest growth
comes from courage
even if you have moments
when you're discouraged

My voice so soft
I can barely hear myself speak
the words come at a whisper
my story is not being heard
I want to sing
but I am scared
what if I am not a good singer?
what if my words don't make sense?
I try to let out a note
but it cracks and is out of tune
will I ever get my song out?
will my voice ever be strong enough?
So I practice
I fine tune the song
I warm up my vocal cords
I learn to sing from masters
I am encouraged
my song is getting stronger
I am stil... Continue reading ...

With
wands, I create action.
Moving the energy,
breaking through the barriers.
I make things happen.
With swords, I use logic.
slicing through disbelief,
organizing my ideas.
I think uplifting thoughts.
With pentacles, I generate abundance.
taking care of all my needs
drawing in everything and everyone I need.
I lay a strong foundation.
With cups, I drink from the emotional well.
quenching my thirst,
touching every emotion.
I embrace my feelings.
With spirit, I connect to my soul.
