Poetic Storyteller

Welcome to my creative space where I share poems that will move you (many w/audio), poetry recitations and dance clips that will entertain you, stories that will engage you, photographs that will uplift you, and people who will inspire you. 🌞

My weekly reflective posts ask you to pause, take a deep breath, and a minute or two, which I hope for your sake, you have the time to do. If you appreciate generous portions of thoughtfully crafted inspiring words, then this space will suit you.

Since beginning this blog in August of 2019 I have written about a variety of topics, including, the natural world, love, loss, art, dancing, writing, reading, teaching, self-discovery, empowerment, strong women, meditation, music, motivation, dreams, death, isolation, the global pandemic, social justice issues, and I sprinkle in life’s playful and funny. Many of the photos shared were taken by me and are carefully chosen to enhance each post to give you a visual escape during your busy day.

I invite you to join me on this inspirational journey where I capture and interpret what I see, hear, and feel around me.

Watching Wild Float and Fly

We sat riverside, her and I, on a bed of soft green watching water rush – displaying a fierce power born from Mother Earth. Philosophical pondering, her and I. We nourished our souls with authentic connection and fed our senses with lush and refreshing tints. Being fully present with my only child, in the presence…

Swaying Soothsayer

The trees are thick with secrets. Weaving traveler’s words and whispers into their branches and leaves. A guiding oracle if you lean in and listen. A thank you given with the brush of my hand against the leaves, swaying. I graciously accept the rooted wisdom cultivated by earth, sun, wind, and rain. Let the knowledge…
