WoMAN in the Mirror

You never know how you treat or act towards people

until someone acts like that to you.

Its at that point when one can see their true self

and either change it

or accept that they are douche bag.

I vote for change.

Im A Dreamer

Fact of the matter is, when you get to this point in life, you know what you want. You acquire habits and routines. Your puzzle piece becomes less round, more jagged and intricate. It becomes harder to fit. Therefore you dont waste the time anymore. Some call it jaded, I call it wise. I actually love getting older. I enjoy learning about myself and others and how we all relate to one another on this crazy planet. But then again, Im a dreamer.

Lady Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is female.

She is strong, proud and independent.

She stands alone with her head looking forward and ladies,

you CAN too!!!

Wall Street Protester "End The Fed" 2011

He who works with his hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands

and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands,

head and heart is an artist.

~St. Francis of Assisi

Fire

“They say a good love is one that sits you down,

gives you a drink of water,

and pats you on top of the head.

But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind,

sets you ablaze,

makes you burn through the skies

and ignite the night like a phoenix;

the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire

and you can't stop running

simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch!

I say that's a good love;

one that burns and flies,

and you run with it!”

~C. JoyBell

"You may not know it,

but I see beyond the pretty face, blonde hair and sweet personality.

There is an artist trying to come back out.

A person seeking passion and someone to be passionate with."

INSPIRATION.

My Skin

Tonight as I was laying on the floor mapping out pictures

for an up and coming art show,

I couldnt help notice my hip bones.

Its been many years since I have felt them

and as odd as it sounds,

they make me happy.

So, I captured them with my iphone.

But, it cant go unnoticed that no matter how much I alter my body,

my skin tells the unspoken visual story of motherhood.

A story, I would never want to rewrite.

My skin is a badge,

an earned plaque of labor, sleepless nights, selflessness and sacrifice.

I need more sleep.

I almost didnt go tonight.

I came home and almost fell asleep.

So tired from lack of sleep.

I listen to her too...

Anything IS Possible

I feel good about my progress in the gym

and with my calorie intake lately.

Fat pads have shrunk,

some even vanished and bones are appearing.

The boss went to bed happy,

and now I can too.

G'night my friends.

May you all stroll down the path

you were meant to walk.

I know I am.

What I want and dont want in a man.
