Take, take, take....

Some people learn where to draw the line immediately.  For some, it takes days, weeks...and for some of us it can take YEARS.  I find it amazing how we can know another human being so well...their thoughts and what they want or need just by their mannerisms...and at the same time, how incredibly sad it can be that they in turn know NOTHING about you and only present themselves in your life when they need something and can completely cut you off when you become inconvenient by needing something in return.  Have you ever found yourself in this kind of a situation?  I've decided, it's not really my place to be everyone's soft place to fall.  The burden is too heavy and the consequences too detrimental to my psyche, my heart, and my well-being.  Mantra of the day...if you're not into give and take then, I'll be seein' ya.

Shining Acceptance

I waited for your hand, your heart
craving your remembrance
as my heart sat broken
amidst tears and turmoil
though, I sauntered along
a path of bitter-sweet
stealing moments of happy
here and there
biding my time, soaking up
rays of serenity
those times of peace exist more
as I scamper along this path, this life
and open my heart to the freedom
of acceptance, the acceptance
to love and be loved once again

It is Time.....

it is time....


to flee from reality

bask in the blur of dim candle light

camp out on the living room floor

with soft blankets and big, fluffy pillows

throw in some ice cream and chocolate

while pondering ideologies - old and new

slip into the fantasy of a great movie

and trail off to slumber to the great voices

and wondrous minds of cinematography

of long, long ago...

Other exciting news......

Here is my newly reddesigned cover for my 2009 book.  Brushing up on my MS publisher skills.

What do you all think?  

Feel free to take a look at my storefront on lulu.com and leave me a review.  It would be so greatly appreciated.  

I am super, super excited about releasing my next untitled book!!! 

I am pretty pumped up about the recent celebrity exposure of  "Trailing the Truth Fairy: A Poetic Journey" at the 2011 American Music Awards.

I am ready to bring in the New Year with a Bang!!

Give Thanks.

Today I give thanks for many things....family, friends, success.

 Most importantly, my family.  There is such completeness to life being part of a cohesive, loving unit.  The safety and protection that I feel is beyond words.  I know a few good souls have my back and I, theirs. 

Today, I celebrate my success however small it may seem to others.  I feel the magnitude of the fruits of my efforts and appreciate all of those that have encouraged me along the way.  Life is truly what you make of it and I am glowing right now.

 I am so grateful for the my friends who keep in touch, especially my far away friends.  It is so nice to be remembered and thought kindly of.

 My life, this blessing...is a true gift and I, a testimony to the power of prayer, faith, and love.  Karma has been my friend and I know no words to show how grateful I am for the paths I continue to take.  I appreciate the hard earned lessons and today I can say I am proud of the life I live.  Happy Thanksgiving, friends.  Let us give thanks today and every day.  May the festivities begin.

Brooke Hogan with MY book!!

Today is one of the happiest days of the year. Yes, really.  As most of you know my book was being showcased at the American Music Awards. It was in the gift suite.. and my poetry cards were in the swag bags that were passed out to the celebrities.  I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am.  I have been working on my poetry and promoting my books since I began this blog a couple of years ago and being involved in this event has just brought my motivation to a whole new level.  I am beyond exhilarated and never really expected my poetry to go anywhere beyond this blog.  Thank you to all my friends who passed on words of encouragement along the way and supported my poetic efforts.  This is so wonderfully amazing.

 

There's my book....on the top shelf!!  Wow!!!

Mosaic of Sun

A mosaic of sun shines upon
the shadows of what once never was
yet those words I hear...
I love you so much
are words I shall bury and hide
on dark days there will be no need
to search and  to find
words, nurture and soothe

a much cluttered mind

in words a friend I find

...in words, a friend I find
I'll sift through the sand of a heavy heart
and scoop them up..those treasures of mine
"I love you so much"
...scoop them up those treasures of mine
oh my mosaic, you shine....
