Have I
Have you ever been camping?
Ever been camping?
Yes, we went camping in the woods when I was in the Girl Scout.
My mom was a leader of the juniors, and I was a brownie at the time. My group was late, so my middle sister and I stayed with her for a day before joining our troop.
Our troop was sleeping in one big tent with multiple beds on both sides of the tent.
We took walks on the trials, found one troop that had gotten lost, and took them back with us as we returned to the tent.
It was a beautiful experience, as we were living in Hawaii then, and the only warning when camping up there was large wild hogs, and I’m glad we didn’t see any.

The reason
I am here is still growing.
I am more present each day than before, and I do not know where I will end.
But the hope that I would survive each battle got me smiling today.
Today is a blessing I must accept because I’m more than the four walls I sleep in.
Like the weather, I’m heating up with hope, and my light is shining brightly as the winter blues fade away and the spring bursts through.
Rain or shine, I know I can get through it, and today feels like a new beginning as things begin to unlock again.

When do
When do you feel most productive?
I feel most productive?
In the morning, after praying and eating a good breakfast.
If I do what I must do in the morning, I know I won’t drag it on throughout the day when distractions usually happen.

Friendship
Where the energy flows just right
The excitement of seeing each other is like that of two little kids.
Nevertheless, we aren’t as young as we used to be.
But girl, we are living lives feeling so youthful when you have someone who gets you, and you rock on the same level.
They get your frustration and ain’t taking the stuff others blow off.
You know who gets you and who’s got your back, and no matter the time apart, this friendship will always be dear to my heart.
No matter how long we get together, life shakes things up.
And sometimes I have to go for the ride, for at least I know you will tell me the truth, and I haven’t felt any disrespect, and I can’t say that for the rest.
So, I hope to keep connecting and being authentic in this friendship because I’m just tired of investing in the ones who leave or I leave them.
I’d be happy with a few good ones who last a lifetime, and the rest I won’t expect much but know I try to give you all but my walls come back down pretty quickly these days and I ain’tfighting to put them back up again.

Topics do I like to discuss?
Um reading and writing and pets like my dog. The weather and music and places I’d like to go.
My fears, art, creativity, faith, and anything else.

This is
How it goes struggle then victory
And then thanks to God.
At least that’s how it went today as I went live in my confidence coaching Facebook group today.
I did a 15-minute live about unleashing your inner confidence; it was my first one. Boy, was I nervous before, but when I hit live, I just talked as people can in and out of the live stream, but for the most part, it was just me.
And it’s funny how even talking to the camera by myself still made me nervous, and once it was over, I was relieved, but I went back to watch it and the volume was a little low, and the connection on Facebook was not great.
But God got me through it, and maybe the next time I go live, it will be better, and I will have more women in my group helping and supporting each other as they gain their confidence in themselves.

Describe a
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
Risk you took that you do not regret?
Investing in myself as a poet, then an author, and now as a coach.
When something feels right, the risk is worth it.
I don’t regret starting this blog, which has helped me grow as a poet and writer, seeing others support me, and I support them. I am just falling more in love with writing and reading others’ work.
It is life-changing, and I’ve had a lot of life-changing moments since taking the risk of being my authentic self and doing what I love.
So, I’m ready to take more risks to live a life worth living because I only get to live as me once.
