A sure sign of emotional/psychological healing and growth is the change in your prayers. At the pivotal changing point in my life, God had very clearly answered a recent prayer I had delivered in tears on my knees in the locked bathroom at one my lowest points. Since then, my prayers have mostly been gratitude, … Continue reading A Change in Prayer
I woke this morning with the burden of a something weighing on me. I immediately called upon God. I had to ask for something very specifically, something I rarely do, for I usually just have blind faith in His plan, having let go of trying to understand any of it. And when I talk to God … Continue reading Fickle Forecast
In the silence, blooms slowly awaken from deep sleep, each petal fading in to life, colored gradually by individual rays of soft, natural light. I wait in line. The peace already activating me inside, a hymnal hum with lost lyrics returning to mind. Here comes my light... I am ready. Old me, goodbye. Evolution of … Continue reading Silent Awakening
Unintentionally slipping away from Moon as my dreams the stars granted start to come true, like so many slip away from God after their pleas are spilled and tears dry up. But I am even closer to Him after the showers of blessings, with humble gratitude and daily thanksgiving. So I apologize … Continue reading Away from Moon
A beautiful May Day, a time to celebrate spring and me, the blessings He continuously gifts, I continuously see; may I never lose that heightened ability, for with it, the awe of every petal and leaf seeps into my being, and with the scents and colors, I give back in letters arranged to the best … Continue reading This May Day
Daybreak is near. I feel the twinges of melancholy I hoped to sleep off stirring. I've been on an incredible positive mental-health streak lately.

Soundless snowflakes, silent night, white star lights faintly decorate the sky, and I keep my eyes and heart open wide, close my mind, still time... Every night painted fresh by the brush of His breath, O holy night granted to the blessed witness... I look up, and my center calms, spirits lift and … Continue reading Silent Night
The thing about matters of the heart and soul is that they are buried deep. The thing about the search for home is that it is a destination we cannot, in this life, reach. But the matters of the heart and soul are hidden clues we are meant to unearth in time. Some are … Continue reading Matters of the Heart and Soul
It is inevitable that a sun must set, must sink out of view, bringing darkness, signaling that a day is through. So it is with the things that come to pass, regardless of our will or grasp; some things simply get laid to rest. But just because a sun, a heart, sinks doesn't mean … Continue reading Revolutions
October 9th, 2014 Two major events of my lifetime occurred simultaneously: I announced that I was about to become a mother, and my mother announced she was moving away. That was seventeen years ago. She has always hoped I would follow, and I have always hoped she would return, but we are still separated by … Continue reading My Mother is the Beach
