God Bless America
I wrote this poem August 3, 2012, while my husband José was deployed in Afghanistan (his second deployment). At this time, our daughter Mia was 19 months old and her little sister Lizzie was 6 weeks old. I had a big, supportive group of mother friends in community around me, but no family, and I … Continue reading God Bless America
Alignment
It is a sad thing to lose yourself Buffeted about by the winds of change aimlessly drifting at the whim of the breath of earthly forces, unable to ground, detached from the core of life. Flow…go with the flow they say… Funny thing about life, so many people beg for a roadmap. Others rebel against … Continue reading Alignment
A Baby Is

Lines of wisdom and traces of sorrow do not mar the smooth cheek, seen instead in the eyes. Old souls dwelling in young frames… Like a new … Continue reading Their Eyes
Hurricane Destiny
(written September 2016) Back and forth we blew about in the fierce winds of change. Dashed upon rocks I never had time even to put our life into a frame. Here and there the tempest shook and uprooted us from every crack in every road we ever took. If we ever thought our home was … Continue reading Hurricane Destiny
I Am a Gold Millennial and Writing is My Life
The call to write is undeniable…it pulses through my veins and sings to my soul in a haunting melody. In truth, I can’t recall a time that I wasn’t obsessed with the written word.
