Upcoming Cover Reveal

Hello readers,

My book cover is going to be revealed almost a month from now. On January 14, 2014! But here's the awesome thing. YOU CAN SIGN UP TO HELP WITH THE REVEAL, if you want to.

Reverb Catch-Up Days 15-16

Hello readers,

Day 15

Going through the year

paying attention to the little things

children talking and reading

loving their friends and teachers

campers enjoying learning

and playing in good weather

watching how the disabled work

Going through the year

noticing how certain news affect us

yet with hearing the crying

we hear the laughter

the quiet and loud presences 

Going through the year

enjoying the smell of old and new books

enjoying the fruit and chocolate

and other treats

seeing how plain and great things can be

with lots of hugs and kisses. 

Day 16

This year was like me driving a car

postponing it for a long time

finally getting behind the wheel

and going slowly

finally making lots of turns

going in circles 

finally getting somewhere

even though no one listens.

Thank you, 

Reverb13 Day 12

Hello readers,

The poem is back! I loved today's prompt!

Mud and dirt in my life

being lousy and mean

cleaning myself off

I have potential to be better

instead of starting next year

I'm going to start now

controlling my emotions

and communication is key

for all I want to fix.

Thank you and love, 

Reverb13 Day 11

Hello readers,

My challenge for next year is to keep up with my resolutions. To publish another poetry collection. To do better with it. With all my writing and editing. Nurture my friendships and new love for camping.

Thank you and love,  

Reverb13 Day 10

Hello readers,

If you read yesterday's poem you know it has been a year of pjs and online college. I've been on autopilot for a while. Grade school for 12 years. Nothing different. My body just thinks it's on vacation and will go back to routine. But that's not how it's going to be. I need to get out of that autopilot zone. 

I need to care more about my faith, college, writing and a job I enjoy. Not one I do just for money, especially when it's a somewhat long drives away. 

I apologize if you wanted a poem. All those poem or not comes naturally. I never have to force myself to put a certain thing up for my blog. 

Even after reverb13 I'll keep you updates on any changes from being in autopilot.

Thank you and love,

Reverb Catch-Up Days 7-9

Hello readers, 

The year of the selfie

the year of pjs 

and what makes me 

who I am

all the gifts

women and family

in my life

whether a glance or more

Reconnecting with 

my faith, my soul

trying to remove routine

as this is the year of realizing.

Thank you and love,

Reverb13 Day 6

Hello readers, 

Little memories, treasures

and discoveries 

stored in our hearts

not fading away

only getting bigger

helping you.

Learning from love and loss

taking risks

and conquering your fears

knowing what keeps you best

are the things that come

from those memories

being treasures. 

Thank you and love, 

Reverb13 Day 5

Hello readers,

Risks are big 

but different to everyone 

Risks is walking on rocks

high and low

tight places

to finish a hike

see beauty along the way. 

Risk is walking bank to bank

in smooth, fast water

first with breaks in the middle

then without them

discovering beauty along the way. 

Thank you and love, 

Reverb13 Day 4

Hello readers, 

What have you lost

what are you grieving?

The loss of family 

and friends

when you have to leave them

cuz an event ends 

when one dies

With each day passing 

that you still haven't seen 

that one side of your family

that new cousin

Just sad

that everything is totally different

but it's a beautiful sadness

when those people and you

are proud of who you are.

Thank you and love,

Reverb13 Day 3

Hello readers,

I ask my heart

what do you need 

love in so many ways

finding old friends

reconnecting with them

or having a proper closure 

having some as soulmates

to live with until I die

to camp with strangers to sisters

ringing in the New Year

to reconnect with my faith

just keep improving 

a just one simple desire

to move on, be out of boring

and into a better place

in many ways

Thank you and love, 

Reverb13 Day 2

Hello readers,

My soul most nourished 

when I'm awake with 

myself at the bookstore

hanging out with my mom

hearing from my friends

better when I see them

My soul most nourished

when I pray and meditate with yoga

when I finally find a moment

to write in my journal

When I learn about my faith

learn to love.

Thank you and love, 

 

Reverb13: Day 1

Hello readers,

I hope this page is clean

I've been feeling ill

and of course I dislike it

wanting to be healthy again

Yet I'm blessed to have this 

to me, it's God

cleaning my body, my soul

for new moments

And it's at the right time

as we start a new month

the last month

before the new year. 

Thank you and love,
