In his hit song, “You're Gonna Miss This,” Trace Adkins sings to a young woman who appears to be rushing through each stage of life. Barely a newlywed, she already has a plan mapped out for her and her husband to buy their first home. To this, Adkins advises her to slow down, as she … Continue reading I’m Going to Miss This

When Paper Is So Much More
Pingback: https://poetscornerblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/22/paper-promises/ Paper is defined as: a material manufactured in thin sheets from the pulp of wood or other fibrous substances, used for writing, drawing, or printing on, or as wrapping material. To some, that's all it is; a means to an end, whether the end is wrapping a gift or jotting down a note. I'm … Continue reading When Paper Is So Much More
A Soul Awoken
For as long as I can remember I have loved to write. As a little girl I imagined myself much like Jo March; running a school, writing beautiful letters, and falling in love. I journaled endlessly and wrote my fair share of poetry and limericks. When I got to college it was only natural that … Continue reading A Soul Awoken
My Legacy
I've recently devoured the first season of Amazon's new series, " Z: The Beginning of Everything." I finished the season in one day ,(okay, I admit it, I spent the day bingeing), and was inspired to order the book, authored by Therese Anne Fowler, that the series is based on. Watching the show's portrayal of Zelda … Continue reading My Legacy

Immediately paralyzed with both … Continue reading Comfort in Solitude

We discussed everything from our kids, to politics, to the economy, to the upcoming holidays. At one point during conversation the topic of "finding oneself" came up. Typically, this makes me very uncomfortable as I'm not … Continue reading “What Do You Do For a Living?”
Music of My Life, Song
They say music is the universal language. It speaks to the soul, awakens and consoles hearts, bridges generational, cultural, and social economical gaps, all while managing to stir emotions and memories long forgotten. Song in particular is the language paired with music. For me, there are few songs that have seared themselves so deep inside … Continue reading Music of My Life, Song
Escaping My Mind
The bewitching hour is upon us and as I watch everybody peacefully and silently sleep, peace, silence, and sleep elude me. Held captive by my ever racing thoughts, my brain won't allow my body to simply shut down. Physically exhausted, my mind pushes through and the two AM torment continues. If only this were a … Continue reading Escaping My Mind
Who Taught Me
When asked who my favorite teacher was I have a very difficult time answering this question. I like to consider myself a student of life, and so I believe I'm always learning from somebody. Alas, someone has to be a favorite though, and whether we like it or not, we all have favorites; for better … Continue reading Who Taught Me
