I Love the Body that God Gave Me…
I Love the Body that God Gave Me. I have many people in my life in search for the “perfect body.” Whatever that means? They look in the mirror and see a body that is hideous. At least that is what they have convinced themselves with silly self talk about their bad “shape” or “look.” Each year they make these ridiculous exercise goals. You know the ones; “I will lose weight or fit into those skinny jeans.” So for the first couple of weeks, and in some cases months, they spend an exhausting amount of energy trying to stick … Continue reading I Love the Body that God Gave Me…
Work in Progress…
Every morning I go into my bathroom and look at the light over my mirror and tell myself; “I really need to put in a replacement.” Then every day I walk out of there with no intention or plan to complete the project. The truth is, there are many areas in our lives we look at and even acknowledge have issues and do absolutely nothing.

Each one telling me they know what’s best. I was being pulled in so … Continue reading Empty
Desperate
A desperate attempt to make poetry out of you. We greet each other like strangers. We have nothing to discuss, outside of what happened to us. Tired of discussions that turn into arguments “about what was done right and what was done wrong.” We barely speak or see each other as “home.” I promise you that I have searched and searched all night trying to recall the words I used to describe you when we first met. Believing that maybe those words would help me get that feeling of love back. I questioned how I framed … Continue reading Desperate
