Appointments By Divine


Appointments By Divine

as I await
appointments by divine
heart opens
to receive
essence
is present
in the moment
which I be
eyes open wide
ready to perceive
those sent my way
fulfilling these
appointments by divine
and as we complete
what some would see
as chance meeting
we’ve given and received
blessings of love
for showing up
to these

Inspire


Inspire

I was asked today
from where my inspiration came
what was it that caused me to write
about such things I hadn’t thought
it came so clearly in that moment
it was my escape from sore abuse

abuse I grew up in and married the same
writing allowed me to dream of pretty things
of place and lives where fear didn’t reside
of love that was true and not cruel
a place where love words were spoken
replacing those of inadequacy and unworthiness

with one question I realized
escape sprung forth from this pen of mine
and now I am free of that which inspired me
now my inspiration lies in speaking my truth
sharing emotions which spring from my heart
taking joy in the love when it touches another
praise and fortune are not what I seek
to know that I inspired and touched someone
made their life brighter this fills my needs

what inspires you? what brings you to life?
think on these things, figure out your why
then dare to dream it ~ believing you can
get out there and do it ~ go on 
Inspire

In This Day


In This Day

moon illuminates the clouds
creating ripples of silver
on darkness’s background
only wind is awake
to converse with me
in the silence before daybreak
and I this time do take
to just simply BE
before the expectations
of yet another day
I receive these moments
just to breathe

I watch sun rise
paint the sky shades of pink
kiss the moon good morning
and I this day do greet
sun and moon both shine on me
each their own loving frequency
bidding me this day receive
all the gifts love wishes for me
that I may fully know
the beauty of presence

Where Is Joy


Where Is Joy

where is Joy?
where has she gone?
my inner child
stands cyring ~ screaming
to find her once again

where has she gone
it’s been so long
since I have seen her
where could she be
it’s a mystery to me
how life got in the way

I hear a voice
to my inner child say
stop making so much noise
be still and look this way
see Joy in the love
of your family and friends
see Joy in the touch
of a lovers hand
see Joy in the birds
singing sweetly in the trees
see Joy in the sunrise
shining light on all your dreams
Joy never left you dear
you simply lost her in your fears
Joy is always all around you
push your fears aside
embrace Joy once again

as this truth does settle in
my inner child starts to grin
laughter erupts as Joy embraces
and we set off for brighter places
Joy, my inner child, and my self

I Am a Poet


I Am a Poet

I am a poet
I let the rhythm flow
I let the beating of my heart
tell the story of my soul
I capture life at its essence
paint its picture with words
caress the cortex of your brain
with the lines of each verse

yes I am a poet
just doing my best
to share this God given gift
cause I know that I must
follow the dream
that I dream
be the me
I am supposed to be
for I am a poet
I live ~ I breathe
poetry
every thought from the heart
ends up poetic prose
why I even speak in rhyme
without conscious thought of why
cause
I am a poet

The View From Here


The View From Here

The view from here
is lovely dear
peaceful ~ serene
creation sings

on mountain side
or rush hour drive

the view from here
is lovely dear

for thru my eyes
I see the love
that ushers peace
from which joy flows
the hope of all mankind

yes the view from here
is lovely dear
as your heart pours forth
sweet gratitude

so hold my hand
as this journey
we tread

‘cause the view from here
is lovely dear

Self Power & The Solar Plexus Chakra



Self Power & The Solar Plexus Chakra

As a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher, I have found that many of my clients and students experience blockages and trauma to the Solar Plexus Chakra – the seat of Self Power. 

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in the area above the naval and below the heart.  It houses our will and our self power.  When in balance and harmony its natural state is laughter, joy and feelings of empowerment.  When disharmony or imbalance occurs the results can be manifested as feelings of powerlessness, anger, as well as pain affecting the areas of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

The most common cause of disharmony and imbalance in my experiences has been the result of giving our power to someone else or allowing someone else to hold power over us.  The most common cases I see are a person who has allowed a parent or loved one to hold power over them.  This allowing another person to hold power over you results in disharmony within your self.  Your self power is designed to be yours.

Recognizing that you have given your self power over to another is the first step to bringing harmony back to the solar plexus chakra.  Acknowledgement that allowing this giving over of self power is not for your best good is a key step to healing. 

As you take the steps to bring balance and harmony to the solar plexus chakra you can enjoy the natural state that was intended for you – laughter, joy and empowerment.  Healing of the symptoms of disharmony has followed in every case I have been involved in.

Empowering You for Whole Wellness ~

One Point of Light


One Point of Light

one point of light
in darkened sky
I wonder why
you so fear
opening your eyes
for darkness only serves
to make light shine brighter

yes I shine here
in daylight bright
watching over you
same as the night

open your eyes
let fear release
open your eyes
let yourself see
I am with you
in dark of night
and light of day
a yellow resonant star
reminding you of love
of beauty and of grace

one point of light
open your eyes
see your light
shine it bright
in darkest night
and broad daylight
that you may remind
others of love
of beauty of grace

one point of light
becoming many
that all may see
love ~ beauty
and grace
