Poetry

I am

Not alone

It is okay to fail

And even better to get back up

And try again

So here I go no more worries

For if I can’t control it I let it go

And I let in the light and love and let myself feel alive again.

Setbacks are lessons I had to learn

This year, my word was faith, and oh boy, was I tested and tried. However, it made me lean on my faith in ways I hadn’t before, and now I know and feel so blessed to have experienced the growth I needed this year!

finally here

My birthday month

But also, it’s a little chilly this month, but I would rather be a little cold than hot.

It’s a perfect time to crave pumpkins and put up spooky decorations, but right now, I am calm as I cut off the top and pull out the guts and seeds inside.

It’s so calming to focus on a task that may be a little messy, but it’s a joy to see what kind of spooky face I can create.

Art takes a different form, and I am lucky to be creating it as I bundle up for warmth.

But it’s the joy and warmth inside of doing something that makes me get in the spirit of October and Halloween that truly delights me.

I am so excited about what October holds for me—and I hope it holds a lot, as this month will be one full of great memories for me!
