New Years Wish

May your heavily burdened shoulders be lifted May your tears fall freely with those you love May what is hidden be unearthed with clarity May you be guided by a purpose from above May your lonely heart begin to find healing May the road ahead unfold softly as you go May you see the magnificenceContinue reading “New Years Wish”

Christmas Wish

Outside the window, the world is covered in ice But inside, there is a warm, inviting glow A tree that sparkles while the winter storm swirls The coziness of home to contrast the falling snow. An aroma of baked goodies drift through the rooms A clutter of old decorations strewn up from years past MeagerContinue reading “Christmas Wish”

You Still Shine Bright

Oh, sweet soul, you still shine bright A star gleaming softly in the chill of night Spilling light across a canvas of snow Uplifting heavy hearts wherever you go. In this season of both laughter and tears May hope dispel the shadows of your fears And may love find you in times of despair ThroughContinue reading “You Still Shine Bright”

Here there is only the warmth of loveContinue reading “Here”

The Shadowy Road

I am an avid seeker of light, But sometimes I veer off the sun speckled trails Into the heart of the forest, unexplored and wild With that unquenchable pull toward deeper insight That only a journey through the dark can inspire. There is nothing to fear on the shadowy road The spookiest night cannot harmContinue reading “The Shadowy Road”

2020 Christmas Ornament

In our household, it has become a tradition for my kids to receive ornaments at the beginning of December to represent the year in some way. I saw a tiny, fluffy white owl that I immediately knew my daughter would love. It really didn’t have much to do with 2020, but I didn’t want toContinue reading “2020 Christmas Ornament”
