About Me

I am a beautiful mind continuously awaiting inspiration. I am a Fabulous Mother (just ask my baby girl!) My passion is WRITING!!! I write and perform poetry (spoken word) READ MY BLOGS!!!!! I produce a monthly venue dedicated to the love of arts called Express!ON. I am an educator on many levels. I am a crazy mix of exposure!! I love music and all arts. I love surrounding myself with people. I attempt to make a difference in someone's life daily. Sometimes I lose motivation and falter, but when I feel it, I pick myself up...and NEVER half ass. I am inspired to become a greater human being every day through exposure to reality. Reality that maybe I'll be "by myself" for a little while in order to really focus on the greater task at hand. In order to remain positive, I must learn from and accept the negative. Negative people, negative outcomes, negative situations...etc. To step outside the box and really look beyond the boundaries of what I "think". Turn things into MY reality, MY outcome, MY existence in this life. Remain consistent in the path and direction I trust my inner self (my core) to lead me to. Support myself and really free myself to be...with or without!!

My Interests

I love to live life.......I am a dreamer loving each thought of loving.....but I really keep it REAL!!!! I document EVERYTHING in writing, in pictures or on video!!!

Oslodum...I see Him in the Trees

Pieces of Me

Built up on lies.Foundation made to crumble.You think you hold him in iron grasp.Picture me every time he says I love you.His grasp on your thigh reminds him of our conception.Made from love. Made fro...

Inspiration comes from spontaneous dark corners.What happens when the light exposes you?Naked, you choose to run the other way.Too hard to look directly at me.Affraid that sharing etches scars of lost...
