I am Woman
I am Woman,strong and limitless,not seeking to be frictionless,I’m full of life’s complexity,contradictions and simplicity,I yearn and long and dream,loving kindness is my theme, I stretch and reach and push,I am capable of so much,I’m not afraid to show up,and from within I always glow up,I AmWoman.Photo: Evergreen, CO. 6.29.23 by LA

Illuminate
I set my intentions,Align with my values,Turn my feet in the direction I wish to go,And see the path illuminate before me.The first step is bright and prominent,And I do not falter or question,But rather step boldly.But the way beyond is less obvious,Dimmer, shrouded in shadows,There, but not direct.Looking ahead (always looking ahead!!),The path diverges,Casting…

Flow
Inside of balance is a notion that we can detach and just Let it be,And inside of letting it be is moderation, with nothing withheld and nothing in excess,And inside of moderation is surrender, giving up the need to control outcomes,And inside of surrender is flow, giving up that resistance to change,And inside of flow…

Not to be manipulated, For another’s needs, Not to be objectified, For another’s pleasure, Not to be disrespected, For another’s amusement. Be careful the ones, You might think to…

My Higher Power
In childhood, my belief in God was shaped by my parents and my church community. I attended Sunday School, listened to sermons, heard Bible stories. My understanding of faith was very black and white, boiled down in my mind to a set of rules to follow. Do that well, and God would be pleased, make…

Lessons from an 8 year old
The little girl sat down across the table from me for her writing conference. “We have something in common,” she said, smiling at me. I couldn’t imagine what she might be thinking. Her dark hair and complexion were in direct contrast to my fair. Her 8 years to my 52. “We both have curly hair!”…
