Dreaming Like A Child

As a child I loved sports, popcorn and my dog...  I wrote poems about balloons and protested the war...  I was unafraid of the words of other, they didn't sting and hurt the way they do now. 


As a child I had big dreams, I was going to be an award winning writer, I was going to play on the US National Soccer team and travel the world, now I hardly let others read my words, I don't play soccer and I can't afford a plane ticket to Chicago... 


As a child I dreamed big, there was nothing you could of said that would make me doubt the words I said.  I was confident, I shined, now I often just slide on by, don't really want too attention, but I want to be heard.... 


Now that I find myself at a crossroad of "you can stay here or you dream again".  I chose to dream again, like when I was a child, big and bold and unafraid...  I'm ready to make those dreams a reality, to let my words be read and demand the attention I need and deserve.  I am ready to shine...


Now I may not play on the National team and I'm not going to get a dog, but I can still travel the world and write about balloons and anything else that is held in my heart...


I am ready and I am not afraid....

Never Stop Dreaming, So Much Beauty, Strength, Positivity and Good Things Reside There!!!

To Love and You....

i want to be inspired by love, inspired to spread love....

you have always been love to me, you encompass love, breathe love, define love...

you showed me that love is ALWAYS there, that loves prevails.... love is a constant-- THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!

love:  it never abandons us, we abandon it,  you can see the spirit of love move throughout the body.  its in your eyes, your dimples in your cheeks.  the extra squeeze when we embrace, the powerful, succombing forehead kiss.  love is a force of nature, wild and free; calm and peaceful; beautiful and destructive.

love is experienced beyond the mind, beyond the body and seen in the soul.  family is love, strong in foundation, powerful in numbers.  love is the crutch needed to make it past the final hurdle, love motivates youto lose those last 10 pounds.

love:  it never abandons us, we abandon it.

love is a drug, if abused it can be destructive, but if sowed in trust and faith, it can blossom to the most beautiful and fragrant flower in your garden.

you are my love.  i feel it in your words, your hugs, your kisses.  i feel it when you're rubbing my shoulders, washing my hair, lying in your arms.  when we're fighting for the covers and when you're suffocating me with your farts--- yes even then!

yes, i've abused your love, broken your love, betrayed your love, BUT your love has always been there, enduring, strong and unconditional.

now i guard your love, its sacred to me, no longer hurting your love, abusing your love, betraying your love, but cherishing your love.... loving you too unconditionally.  trusting our love, embracing our love.  the love of a dear  and true friend, my best friend, my closest friend, the love of a father, a lover, maybe one day more, may be not-- God's hands....

loving faith, loving God, loving you, loving me....

i want to be inspired by love, inspired to spread love

to learn from love, to heal with love.  to let others know the delicacy of love.  how our love will be forever more.  to truly say i love, i love, i love... loving

i want to be inspired by love, inspired to spread love

please my love, don't say its too late for love, love is here in my heart, in your heart.  in your dimples when you smile, in the slant of our eyes, in the sounds of our laughter, our anger, our passion, in the beautiful music of our lives, bodies, souls converging together.

living in the ups and downs of love, the smiles, the frowns, the tears of joy, the ones of sorrow, all with love... with God's love, the spirit's love.

with love, with love, with love....

i want to be inspired by love, inspired to spread love...
